Import Tips
• Obtain mill certificates proving cotton dominance to support 6212.20 valuation and duty calculations
• Ensure invoice descriptions specify 'panty-girdle' to match HTS subheading and prevent exam delays
• Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from swimwear bottoms (6212.20 but separate stats); no aquatic design
