Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm <85% artificial staple fibers mixed mainly with cotton, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification

• Provide weave analysis and yarn color documentation to justify 'denim' and 'yarns of different colors' criteria

• Avoid common pitfalls like importing pre-hemmed pieces, which may shift to apparel headings in Chapter 62
