Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 'other textile materials' status, avoiding reclassification to cotton or man-made headings

• Label garments clearly as women's based on right-over-left closure per chapter note 13 to prevent unisex disputes

• Include commercial invoices specifying knitted construction and retail packaging to support Chapter 61 classification
