Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% artificial (e.g
• polyester) via lab tests; natural blends shift to other headings
• Provide mill certificates confirming warp knit process and dyeing; statistical note requires precise yarn specs
• Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from circular knits (Chapter 60 headings); use invoices detailing galloon machine origin
