Import Tips
• Obtain mill certificates proving fine animal hair content to prevent reclassification during customs exam
• Use HTS statistical suffix 442 for girls' apparel; mislabeling as women's (442) can trigger audits
• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready skirts must not mimic ensemble sets to stay out of 6204.53
