Import Tips
• Document construction method to confirm not made by sewing strips in spirals, per heading 6502 exclusion
• Use invoices specifying wool percentage to prevent misclassification to lower-duty synthetic blends
• Check for linings; excessive complexity might require parts-of-headgear review
