Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of compliance for fluid resistance and antimicrobial treatments to support hospital/lab designation
• Ensure right-over-left front closure if marketed as women's to avoid misclassification under men's headings per Chapter notes
• Declare exact statistical suffix (340) with evidence of end-use to prevent audits shifting to higher-duty categories
