Import Tips
• Measure inseam to confirm 'shorts' status (typically under knee); longer cuts risk reclassification as breeches (6204.69.15)
• Obtain certificates of origin and mill test reports for artificial fibers to support valuation and preferential duty claims
• Watch for quota restrictions on artificial fiber apparel; check current visa requirements for exporting countries
