Import Tips

• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm at least 36% flax by weight, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties

• Include detailed yarn composition and knitting specifications in commercial invoices to avoid customs scrutiny on material blends

• Ensure no pockets below the waist or ribbed waistbands, as these features would shift classification to headings 6105 or 6106
