Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm 6216.00 classification and avoid reclassification to cotton or leather subheadings

• Include manufacturer specs and product images showing hockey-specific features like blade protection in entry documentation to support ice hockey designation

• Check for CPSC safety standards on padding; common pitfall is misdeclaring as general sports gloves under 6216.00.41
