Import Tips
• Verify fabric composition exceeds 70% non-cotton/man-made to avoid reclassification; provide lab test reports
• Label as 'recreational performance outerwear' with care instructions per FTC rules to confirm HTS fit
• Avoid pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands to prevent shift to Chapter 62 exclusions
