Import Tips
• Obtain country-of-origin certificates; many man-made fiber apparel faces quotas or higher duties from certain origins
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistband to stay out of 6205/6206 per Chapter notes
• Document retail packaging separately from track suits to avoid set classification pitfalls
