Import Tips & Compliance

Provide detailed invoices specifying style, fabric weight, and pocket details to distinguish from overalls or industrial wear

Ensure no metal hardware exceeds norms; Chapter 62 allows metal thread but excess may trigger separate classification

Check for right-over-left closure if unisex; defaults to women's headings per Chapter notes if not clearly men's cut
