Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis to confirm ≥5% elastomeric yarn, as blends under threshold go to 6002.43
• Include technical specs on stitch type (knitted vs woven) to distinguish from Chapter 56 raschel fabrics
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, which could trigger reclassification to parts under 6002.90
