Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm at least 36% flax by weight, as required for this subheading; retain certificates for CBP review

Ensure labeling complies with FTC textile rules, disclosing cotton/flax blend percentages and country of origin

Avoid classifying as sweater vests if featuring heavy knitting or insulation, which shifts to other 6110 subheadings
