Import Tips

• Verify the garment is woven (not knitted) cotton via lab testing to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid Chapter 61

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'recreational performance outerwear' and fiber content over 50% cotton for CBP review

• Check for no pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands to prevent misclassification into 6205 or 6206
