Import Tips

Verify fabric is from heading 5903 (coated man-made fibers) via supplier certification to confirm classification under 6210.20.50

Label as 'other garments' not for everyday wear; include care instructions and country of origin on garment

Avoid misclassification as workwear under 6211 by ensuring no industrial reinforcements like multiple pockets or tool loops
