Import Tips
• Label packages clearly as 'sweater neck parts - unfinished' with fiber breakdown to match (646) man-made fiber criteria
• Avoid retail packaging; ship in bulk to demonstrate industrial parts use and prevent Chapter 61 garment classification
• Retain patterns proving compatibility only with sweater styles to justify specific 'of sweaters' subheading
