Import Tips
• Ensure declaration specifies 'stitch-bonded' with technical specs, as generic knits may default to higher-duty categories
• Avoid common pitfall of undervaluing based on width; statistical suffixes apply regardless for reporting
• For commercial vs retail end-use, provide buyer affidavits to prevent shifts to finished goods headings
