Import Tips

• Verify cotton fiber content exceeds 50% with lab tests or supplier certificates to qualify under this subheading; blends may shift to synthetic codes

• Include medical compression documentation if marketed for therapeutic use, as CBP may scrutinize claims for graduated pressure levels

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as non-compression socks, which could reclassify to 6115.95, leading to duties or penalties
