Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm classification; natural fiber blends may shift to other subheadings

• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying 'women's overcoat' and garment measurements to avoid misclassification as jackets

• Ensure right-over-left front closure and ensure no ribbed waistband to prevent reclassification under other apparel headings
