Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests for accurate classification under 6204.69
• Include commercial invoice detailing HTS 6204.69.8030 and MMF category 648 to avoid quota issues
• Avoid mislabeling as cotton blends, which shifts to 6204.62; check for right-over-left closure confirming women's design
