Import Tips

• Verify fabric meets heading 5602/5603/5903/5906/5907 specs via lab tests; nonwovens must not be knitted

• Label fiber content accurately as 100% man-made; declare no pockets below waist to avoid 6203 reclassification

• Avoid importing with ribbed waistbands, as they shift to Chapter 62 exclusions
