Import Tips
• Verify the knit fabric is pre-existing machine-knit and properly impregnated/coated with rubber/plastics via lab testing to confirm classification
• Ensure documentation proves absence of fourchettes and cut-and-sewn construction to avoid reclassification to other glove subheadings
• Check for REACH compliance if sourced from EU; common pitfall is mislabeling coating thickness leading to duty disputes
