Import Tips

• 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
