Import Tips

• Include detailed photos and specs showing recreational features like specialized pockets to justify performance classification

• Obtain silk waste/silk certification if blended; common pitfall is under-declaring silk for lower duties leading to penalties

• Label clearly as men's (left-over-right closure if applicable); segregate from women's in shipments to avoid reclassification
