Import Tips
• Conduct grammage tests to confirm weight aligns with denim specs; mismatches can lead to sheeting reclassification
• Label as greige or finished goods—dyed post-import may affect duty if not declared
• Ensure no apparel assembly abroad to prevent finished garment duties under Chapter 62
