Import Tips

• Ensure the handkerchiefs are made up (e.g

• hemmed) and not simply cut to size, as this affects classification under Chapter 62

• Declare the cotton fibre composition accurately, as mixed-fibre items may be classified differently under Section XI notes

• Keep commercial invoices detailing the fabric type and dimensions to support the tariff classification
