Import Tips

• Confirm sewing is only spiral strips per Chapter Note to 6502; complex sewing reclassifies the product

• Use size charts proving boys' proportions (smaller crowns) for accurate 'for boys' declaration

• Pair with buyer contracts specifying hat-making end-use to support classification as forms, not parts
