Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers via lab tests for accurate classification under 6204.69
• Include commercial invoices detailing construction (woven, not knitted) to avoid misclassification as Chapter 61 knits
• Check for pockets below waist; if present with ribbed waistband, may shift to 6204.62 or other exclusions
