Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm man-made composition exceeds thresholds for 'other textile materials' and avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Include detailed knitting specs and size charts in documentation to prove it's a men's sweater per closure and cut definitions in chapter notes

• Watch for man-made fiber quota restraints (645); obtain necessary visas or licenses prior to shipment to prevent entry refusal
