Import Tips
• Provide mill certificates confirming cotton origin to counter transshipment claims common in apparel imports
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed bands, as these exclude from similar headings per 6205/6206 notes
• Declare as 'other' subheading accurately; mismatch with 6204.52.2065 (specific styles) leads to audits
