Import Tips
• Provide technical specs showing lining dimensions match common hat sizes to prove headgear-specific design
• Label shipments clearly as 'hat linings' with fiber content declaration per textile regulations
• Watch for bulk fabric imports that might shift to Chapter 59 if not pre-cut for headgear assembly
