Import Tips
• Verify the fabric is warp knit (not weft) via lab testing, as misclassification to Chapter 60 weft knits is common
• Include dyeing certificates and fiber content analysis (must be ≥85% synthetics) in documentation
• Check for galloon machine production evidence to distinguish from basic warp knits in 6002
