Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% artificial fibers like nylon via lab tests for accurate Chapter 61 classification
• Label products clearly with country of origin and fiber composition to avoid CBP reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as socks if they lack foot-shaping typical of 6115.95
