Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm category 647 applicability and avoid reclassification
• Include performance specs like water-repellency in invoices to justify 'recreational performance outerwear' status
• Watch for quota limits under 647; check current visa requirements and apply early to prevent delays
