Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers via lab tests for accurate classification under 6104

• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying 'knitted or crocheted' and garment measurements to prevent reclassification

• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient Country of Origin certificates, which can delay clearance for apparel imports
