Import Tips
• Verify cotton content exceeds 70% via lab tests for accurate Chapter 62 classification and avoid misclassification to man-made fiber headings
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'without fourchettes' and intended use to prevent customs reclassification as sports gloves under 6216.00.41
