Import Tips
• Provide organic certification (GOTS) and lab tests for cotton purity to support duty claims and avoid synthetic misclassification
• Document standalone retail packaging; bulk shipments risk reclassification as parts under different headings
• Measure average stitches per cm to confirm knitted construction—less than 10 may exclude from Chapter 61
