Import Tips
• Ensure no ribbed waistband or lower pockets, as these exclude from similar headings per chapter notes
• Submit lab tests for fiber content to distinguish from cotton (which would be 6211.32)
• Declare as 'vest' explicitly; photos showing athletic design help avoid shirt misclassification
