Import Tips
• Verify the vest lacks sleeves and pockets below the waist to avoid reclassification under 6204; ensure fiber content is accurately labeled as polyester or other non-specified textiles
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'vest' and gender design
• Common pitfall: mislabeling as a 'jacket' leading to higher duties
