• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥36% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification
• Include performance outerwear documentation like fabric specs showing recreational use to avoid industrial garment headings
• Label garments clearly for men's/boys' use based on left-over-right closure per Chapter 62 notes
