Import Tips & Compliance

Verify ensemble packaging with matching jacket or upper garment to confirm classification under 6203; loose shorts may shift to 6203.43

Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules, as cotton twill must declare exact percentages to avoid misclassification

Ensure no elastic waistband or pockets below waist that could reclassify to Chapter 61 if perceived as athletic wear
