Import Tips
• Verify synthetic fiber content exceeds 70% nylon or polyester via lab tests to confirm HTS 6115 classification
• Include care labels specifying 'knitted hosiery' and country of origin to avoid misclassification as woven goods
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian-origin synthetic hosiery; check recent CBP notices
