Import Tips
• Verify textile composition exceeds 50% by weight to qualify under 9113.90.40.00; provide lab test reports if challenged
• Include invoices specifying 'watch straps' not general belts to prevent misclassification as apparel accessories
• Check for U.S. insular possession exemptions if applicable, but ensure compliance with wage verification rules
