Customs readiness for textiles

Textiles are classification-dense: knit vs woven, fiber blends, and gender styling all move the code. Getting readiness right up front prevents the most common re-classification disputes.

Women's 60% cotton / 40% polyester knitted hoodie

Knitted apparel lives in chapter 61 and woven in chapter 62, with fiber-composition breakpoints inside each heading. Codes here are candidates to review — composition percentages decide the final subheading.
