Import Tips
• Retain supplier affidavits confirming no fourchettes and cotton yarn specs to support CBP review
• Avoid common pitfall of oil-resistant treatments that may classify as coated textiles under different chapters
• Use accurate invoices specifying 'knitted cotton gloves, machine-knit fabric' to prevent undervaluation disputes
