Import Tips
• Provide commercial invoices detailing fabric construction (e.g
• yarn count, weave) to support 'other' classification excluding specific cotton types
• Conduct size range audits to ensure skirts fit girls' statistical category (342), avoiding overlap with women's sizes
• Avoid pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands, as these would exclude from Chapter 62 per notes
