Import Tips

Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification; blends may shift to synthetic headings

Include performance feature documentation (e.g

water-repellency specs) to justify exclusion from 6201 and avoid reclassification

Label as 'men's' based on left-over-right closure; ensure no pockets below waist to stay out of 6205/6206
