Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 50% by weight with lab tests for quota compliance under cotton restraints (331)
• Include coating weight in fiber content calculations; ensure rubber/plastics coverage is documented
• Avoid misclassification as protective gear; provide evidence these are general-purpose, not safety-rated
