Import Tips

• Confirm no pockets below waist or ribbed bottom to stay in 6205; otherwise, it may shift to 6209 or 6210

• Use commercial invoices specifying 'boys' corduroy shirt' and HTS code to facilitate CBP entry

• Test for corduroy certification; non-compliant fabric could reclassify to generic 'other' cotton shirts
