Import Tips
• Classify crochet as braid if it forms interwoven patterns; provide construction diagrams to CBP for review
• Avoid common error of plastic lining misdeclared as outer surface—ensure outer exposure is purely cotton
• Maintain records of retail packaging to prove not bulk industrial use, which could shift to parts headings
