Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the socks are made up (e.g
• finished edges) and not simply cut fabric, as Chapter 61 covers only made-up knitted articles
• Verify the fibre composition to confirm fine animal hair predominates by weight, as per Section XI Note 2
• Declare the correct 8-digit code 6115.94.00 on your customs documentation
