Import Tips

• Verify knitting construction with a 10cm x 10cm stitch count test to confirm Chapter 61 classification over Chapter 62 woven skirts

• Label fiber content accurately as over 70% cotton; include country of origin and care instructions to meet US FTC and customs requirements

• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as ensembles if sold with upper garments—import as individual skirts to prevent reclassification
