Import Tips
• Verify exact width measurement under 30 cm and elastomeric yarn content ≥5% via lab testing for accurate classification
• Provide detailed yarn composition certificates to avoid misclassification as wider fabrics in 6002.41
• Label as 'knitted elastic trim' to prevent customs disputes over end-use as apparel vs craft material
