Import Tips

• Verify fabric composition via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' excluding wool or cotton blends over specified limits

• Include detailed invoices specifying recreational performance features to justify exclusion from 6202; avoid misclassification as basic jackets

• Ensure labeling meets CPSIA standards for children's sizes if applicable, and check for quota restrictions on synthetic fabrics
