Import Tips

Verify the fabric coating qualifies under heading 5903 via lab tests for tariff compliance and accurate duty calculation

Include detailed fabric composition and construction invoices to avoid misclassification as knitted goods under Chapter 61

Ensure labeling meets CPSIA standards for outerwear; common pitfall is insufficient proof of non-knitted weave
