Import Tips
• Label as 'knitted' and note fourchettes explicitly to prevent confusion with woven or seamless types
• Prepare for fiber blend scrutiny; artificial must predominate to avoid synthetic or cotton shifts
• Avoid bulk packaging without retail intent, as it may trigger parts classification reviews
