Import Tips

• Use stitch density checks (10+ per cm) if questioned, as low-density knits may shift to other headings

• Label with fiber content and origin of knit parts; Hong Kong assembly must be substantial for tariff shift

• Avoid classifying as 'suit' under note (a) unless meeting strict two/three-piece panel criteria
