Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide technical specs (e.g
• stretch fabric composition) to CBP for performance outerwear verification
• Avoid pockets below waist if possible, as they risk overlap with 6205/6206 exclusion notes
• Country-of-origin marking must specify 'men's shorts'; generic labels lead to delays
