Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% synthetic fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification

• Label garments clearly as women's based on right-over-left closure per chapter notes to avoid misclassification

• Avoid common pitfall of importing as sets; separate trousers classify individually unless qualifying as ensembles
