Import Tips

Verify gloves are made-up from man-made fibers exceeding 70% nylon/polyester content via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification

Provide manufacturer specs proving sports-specific design (e.g

padding for puck impact) to avoid reclassification as general gloves under 6116

Include retail packaging and avoid bulk shipments to prevent scrutiny as industrial gear
