Import Tips
• Verify the tie is knitted or crocheted via stitch count (at least 10 stitches per cm); woven ties go to Chapter 62
• Include fiber content labels (e.g
• 100% silk) for U.S
• Customs compliance under Textile Fiber Products Identification Act
• Avoid classifying as 'parts' if sold ready for retail use; declare as finished accessories
