Import Tips & Compliance

Document yarn supplier specs for elastomeric %; CBP often tests blends exceeding 5% threshold

Avoid classifying as 'sport specific'—tariff based purely on fiber/yarn composition, not end-use

For bulk imports, ensure roll width certifies >30cm to dodge 6002 narrow fabric duties
