Import Tips
• Provide detailed specs confirming fourchettes (gussets between fingers) to prevent shift to 'other' glove categories
• Conduct country-of-origin verification; blending fibers may trigger yarn-forward rules under trade agreements
• Track Category 631 visa status monthly; over-quota imports face escalated duties up to 35%
