Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis pre-shipment; discrepancies lead to penalties under textile import rules
• Specify 'recreational performance' in commercial docs to align with subheading and avoid 6210 catch-all
• Ensure no ribbed waistbands or waist pockets to prevent overlap with 6205/6206 exclusions
