Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab testing to confirm Chapter 62 classification
• Label garments clearly as 'boys'' with right-over-left closure if applicable, per chapter notes on gender identification
• Avoid classifying as swimwear; ensure no water-resistant coatings or swim-specific designs to prevent reclassification
