Import Tips
• Document pull-on design but emphasize absorbent core to distinguish from Chapter 62 underwear
• Conduct fiber burn tests if challenged, as modal's characteristics confirm artificial fiber status
• Bundle in retail packs under 12kg/net to qualify for favorable diaper-specific provisions
