Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'knitted cotton mittens' and specify no fourchettes to match the exact statistical suffix
• Ensure commercial invoices detail yarn count and stitch density to confirm knitted construction per Chapter 61 notes
• Watch for blending limits; over 30% non-cotton fibers may reclassify to synthetic headings
