Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate classification under cotton heading
• Label garments clearly as 'boys'' with size and care instructions to meet HTS gender and age requirements
• Avoid misclassifying as swimwear; ensure no water-resistant coatings that might shift to Chapter 62 swimwear provisions
