Import Tips

• Verify the spandex content and that the shorts are crocheted or knitted, as Chapter 61 applies to made-up knitted articles

• Declare the product as swimwear, not general shorts, to ensure correct classification

• Ensure the garment is not classifiable as a rash guard top, which would fall under a different heading
