Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm synthetic composition and avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'other garments' and knitted construction to meet Chapter 61 requirements
• Monitor cotton restraint quotas (category 359) as they impact licensing even for non-cotton synthetics
