High-Waisted Cotton Panty-Girdle from Japan

A high-waisted undergarment combining panties with a girdle feature, made from cotton fabric to provide light compression around the midsection and hips. It falls under HTS 6212.20.00 as a panty-girdle, which is a made-up article designed for shaping the lower torso, distinct from brassieres or other apparel. This classification applies regardless of knitting or crocheting since heading 6212 explicitly includes both.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests for accurate labeling, as cotton blends may shift classification if elastomeric fibers exceed certain thresholds

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'panty-girdle' to distinguish from regular panties under Chapter 62

• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as swimwear; ensure no water-resistant coatings that could invoke Chapter 62 notes
