Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 50%+ cotton/man-made fibers; inaccurate declarations lead to reclassification
• Provide coating thickness specs and material safety data sheets (MSDS) for rubber/plastics to avoid scrutiny under chemical regs
• Ensure gloves lack fourchettes (side inserts) as this subheading excludes them; misidentification causes duty adjustments
