Import Tips
• 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
