Import Tips
• Provide care labels indicating man-made fiber composition and hand-wash instructions to meet US FTC labeling rules
• Document that mittens lack waterproofing or heavy padding to stay in 'other' category; photos help CBP verification
• Watch for ensemble packaging with tools, which could trigger set classification under different rules
