Import Tips

• Document spandex content precisely, as elastic blends may require additional performance testing for classification

• Avoid common pitfall of importing as sets with hardware, which could classify under 6307 for made-up articles

• Use certified weight measurements after desizing per US note (b) to confirm tariff number
