Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the fabric is knitted or crocheted with documentation like mill certificates to confirm classification in Chapter 61
• Label fiber content accurately (e.g
• 100% polyester) as required by FTC and CBP to avoid misclassification penalties
• Ensure no forbidden features like pockets below waist if borderline with other headings; common pitfall is confusing with casual shorts
