Import Tips
• Verify yarn composition via lab tests to confirm synthetic fibers and different color yarns for accurate 6005 classification
• Provide knitting machine specifications (warp/galloon) in documentation to distinguish from circular knits in Chapter 60
• Avoid misclassification as finished garments by ensuring fabric is shipped in rolls, not cut pieces
