Import Tips
• Document intended use as 'recreational performance' with marketing materials to support 6211 classification over general apparel
• Avoid adding waist pockets or tightening mechanisms, as Chapter notes exclude such from similar headings
• Conduct fiber burn tests for customs verification of wool content exceeding 50%
