Import Tips
• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' excluding wool, as blends over 50% wool shift to 6203.42
• Label as men's by left-over-right closure; provide care instructions and country of origin documentation
• Avoid misclassification as workwear; include sales invoices showing recreational use to prevent audits
