Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify synthetic fiber content exceeds 70% nylon or other synthetics via lab tests for accurate Chapter 61 classification
• Include detailed knotted gauge specs and photos in invoices to distinguish from tights or pantyhose
• Avoid common pitfalls like labeling as 'footwear' which shifts to Chapter 64; declare as hosiery only
