Import Tips
• Verify fabric composition exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm 6211 classification
• Include performance specs in documentation to justify exclusion from 6201 as recreational outerwear
• Avoid misclassification as 6201 by ensuring no standard suiting features; declare as performance gear
