Import Tips
• Verify the knit construction and fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' excluding cotton or wool; declare accurately to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed invoices specifying it's a slip (undergarment) not a dress (heading 6104), including country of origin for quota checks
