Import Tips
• Declare exact yarn composition on entry documents; acrylic blends over 15% elastane may require subheading review
• Use HTS advisory rulings for patterned or novelty socks to preempt disputes on 'other hosiery' scope
• Ensure packaging avoids retail sets with shoes, as that could trigger set classification rules
