Import Tips
• Provide evidence of hiking/outdoor end-use via marketing materials to support 6211 over 6205; customs often scrutinizes activewear
• Certify wool origin and percentage; common error is blending with synthetics pushing it over 50% threshold into other subheadings
• Avoid packaging as sets unless qualifying as ensemble; declare as single garment to prevent ensemble misclassification
