Import Tips
• Conduct fiber analysis to document exact elastomeric percentage, as under 5% shifts to other 6004 subheadings
• Ensure documentation specifies warp knit (not circular/weft) to distinguish from 6002 classifications
• Watch for common pitfalls like incorrect width measurement leading to Chapter 60 exclusion
