Import Tips
• Document control-top as integral knit feature, not separate garment, to prevent reclassification as ensembles
• Provide yarn supplier specs for decitex verification; common pitfall is assuming all synthetics qualify without measurement
• Comply with country-of-origin rules; blending yarns from multiple sources may trigger complex origin determinations
