Import Tips & Compliance

β€’ Verify knitted construction with lab tests (at least 10 stitches per cm in each direction) to avoid reclassification to woven shirts under 6205

β€’ Ensure labeling specifies fiber content (e.g

β€’ 100% polyester) and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements

β€’ Avoid garments with bottom tightening (drawstring/ribbing) as they shift to 6106; document stitch density to prevent audits
