Import Tips

• Verify fiber content lab tests showing ≥36% flax by weight via AATCC methods to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to 6110.20.10.25

• Include detailed knitting machine specs and 'knit to shape' certification in documentation, as statistical note 6 requires minimal post-knit assembly

• Label garments with fiber composition, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC rules; watch for CBP scrutiny on flax blend accuracy
