Import Tips

Label products clearly with fiber content percentages to comply with FTC rules and support HTS fiber determination

Provide knitting gauge samples if requested by customs to confirm 'knitted or crocheted' status per Chapter 61 notes

Avoid bundling with footwear; ship as hosiery only to prevent reclassification and additional duties
