Import Tips & Compliance

Conduct stitch density checks (≥10/cm if borderline with 6105/6106 notes) to affirm knitted status

Declare exact HTS statistical suffix (748) for trousers/shorts; mismatches delay clearance

Steer clear of drawstrings at bottom to avoid exclusion from similar headings like 6109
