Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' like silk, as mislabeling cotton shifts to 6208.91
• Ensure labeling indicates women's sizing and left-over-right closure per Chapter 62 notes to avoid reclassification
• Provide commercial invoices detailing fabric composition to prevent customs holds on undervaluation claims
