Import Tips

Verify the item is fully made-up and knitted/crocheted per Chapter 61 notes to avoid reclassification to non-knitted accessories

Include detailed fiber content labels (e.g

95% polyester, 5% spandex) for CBP compliance and accurate duty assessment

Avoid common pitfalls like importing in bulk sets without retail packaging, which could shift to parts under 6117.80.95
