Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide technical specs on fabric weave (non-knitted) to confirm Chapter 62 applicability over knitted Chapter 61

• Left-over-right front closure indicates men's garment per chapter note 12

• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready units prevent reclassification as unfinished components
