Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab testing to confirm Chapter 62 classification
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'without fourchettes' to avoid misclassification as ski gloves
• Ensure labeling meets CPSIA if marketed for work use, avoiding common pitfalls like undervaluation
