Import Tips
• Verify the vest is woven (not knitted) and lacks pockets below the waist to avoid reclassification under 6205
• Provide detailed fabric composition certificates showing man-made fibers over 70% to confirm 'other textile materials'
• Label clearly as men's based on left-over-right closure; include care instructions to meet U.S. customs textile rules
