Import Tips
• Declare exact spandex percentage; blends under 5% elastomeric may reclassify to non-stretch headings
• Provide origin certificates for synthetic fibers to qualify for preferential duty rates under trade agreements
• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready units prevent shift to parts classification under 6117
