Import Tips
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'for playsuit assembly' and reference statistical note (237) for CBP compliance
• Conduct fiber analysis to confirm cotton dominance in denim, avoiding synthetic blend shifts to other subheadings
• Watch for over-completion like added pockets, which could reclassify as finished bib overalls under 6203.42.40
