Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Label as 'recreational performance outerwear' with care instructions; ensure no pockets below waist to stay out of 6205/6206

• Provide commercial invoice detailing padding material (e.g

• synthetic insulation) to prevent scrutiny as non-padded windbreakers
