Import Tips
• Verify fabric is from headings 5602, 5603, 5903, 5906 or 5907 via mill certificates to avoid reclassification
• Label as men's garments based on left-over-right closure; document snow/ski use for 647 statistical suffix
• Avoid common pitfall of importing knitted versions, which shift to Chapter 61
