Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers (e.g
• polyester) via lab tests for accurate Chapter 61 classification
• Label products clearly as 'baby socks' with height limit under 86 cm to qualify for heading 6111 priority
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as adult socks, which shifts to 6115 and higher duties
