Import Tips
• Label clearly as women's via right-over-left closure; ambiguous cuts default to women's headings per notes
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'ensemble' and matching fabric details to prevent Customs splitting into parts
• Check for metal thread usage, allowed in Chapter 62 but requiring disclosure if exceeding trace amounts
