Import Tips

Verify water resistance via ASTM D751 testing and ensure documentation proves >6 kg/dozen weight to avoid reclassification

Label fiber content accurately (wool/elastomeric) per FTC rules; declare country of origin for wool provenance

Avoid common pitfalls like including belt loops, which shifts to 6204.61.10; inspect for proper women's closure (right over left)
