Import Tips
• Verify water resistance via AATCC 35 test results and include lab reports in documentation to confirm classification
• Label fiber content accurately as per FTC rules, specifying 100% synthetic nylon, and ensure country of origin marking
• Avoid misclassification as industrial workwear; provide retail packaging proof to prevent reclassification to Chapter 62 other headings
