Import Tips
• 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
