Import Tips

• Verify yarn certificates confirming compact yarn specs from 5205.42.0021, 5205.43.0021 etc

• as labs may test fabric composition

• Label as men's trousers with fiber content >97% cotton; declare value per piece to avoid undervaluation penalties

• Avoid classifying as ensembles if sold separately; common pitfall is mislabeling as women's if closure is right-over-left
