Import Tips
• Label as 'arm warmers' not gloves to avoid heading 6116; provide size charts showing forearm fit
• Ensure declaration of knitted stitch density to distinguish from non-knitted Chapter 62 alternatives
• Track category 359 restraints; synthetics may still require visas if blended or misdeclared
