Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis; spandex blends must declare exact percentages for accurate man-made fiber duty
• Use right-over-left front closure and feminine cut to classify as women's per Chapter gender notes
• Beware of swimwear misclassification—ensure no water-resistant coating to stay in 'other garments'
