Import Tips

• Verify the fabric is woven (not knitted) to stay in Chapter 62; knitted versions shift to Chapter 61

• Include lab tests confirming synthetic fiber content over 70% for accurate duty rates

• Label as men's by left-over-right closure and ensure no pockets below waist to avoid 6201 misclassification
