Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers via lab tests for accurate classification under 6204.44
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'women's dress, not swimwear' to avoid misclassification as swimwear in 6211
• Ensure right-over-left front closure and women's cut to confirm women's designation per Chapter notes
