Import Tips

• Verify the garment is fully knit to shape without seams per statistical note 6; provide knitting machine diagrams or lab tests if audited

• Label fiber content accurately as 100% cotton and ensure women's sizing with right-over-left closure per chapter notes

• Avoid misclassification as cut-and-sew; common pitfall is claiming knit-to-shape for garments with linked shoulders
