Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% cotton via lab tests; mislabeling leads to reclassification under man-made fiber subheadings
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'boys' sizing (351 category) and sleepwear end-use to avoid scrutiny as outerwear
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude from heading 6207 per chapter notes
