Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm Chapter 61 classification
• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying 'knitted' construction and garment type to avoid misclassification as woven under Chapter 62
• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands if resembling T-shirts to prevent reclassification to 6109
