Import Tips
• Provide lab certificates for fiber content; blends near 50/50 often scrutinized for correct heading
• Photograph garments to demonstrate 'suit-type' features like panels and tailoring during entry
• Anticipate higher scrutiny from quota countries; diversify suppliers to mitigate 635 limits
