Import Tips
• Test for elastane/spandex content; blends over 5% may require special fiber disclosure but stay synthetic if principal fiber
• Package for retail sale to avoid bulk parts classification under 6117 for knitted components
• Monitor stitch density (10+ per cm); low density shifts to 6113 per chapter notes
