Import Tips & Compliance

Verify the outer shell fiber content is predominantly wool or fine animal hair via lab testing to confirm classification in 6211.49

Include detailed commercial invoices specifying 'recreational performance vest' and garment measurements to avoid misclassification as shirts

Ensure no pockets below the waist or ribbed waistband, as these would shift to other headings like 6204
