Import Tips

• Verify the garment is knitted or crocheted cotton with at least 10 stitches per cm to stay in Chapter 61; provide lab tests for fiber content

• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands at the bottom, as per heading 6109 note, to avoid reclassification

• Label country of origin and care instructions clearly; common pitfall is misdeclaring as woven, shifting to Chapter 62
