Import Tips
• Differentiate from swimwear by absence of water-resistant coatings; declare as brassiere to avoid 6112 aquatic garment tariffs
• Test for elastane content to ensure man-made dominance; blends under 50% may reclassify to other fibers
• Avoid importing in bulk packs without retail packaging, as Chapter 62 targets made-up retail articles
