Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% man-made fibers via lab tests to confirm classification under (646) statistical suffix
• Provide detailed manufacturing specs showing these are unfinished parts, not complete garments, to avoid reclassification
• Include invoices specifying 'sweater parts only' to prevent bundling with finished goods under Chapter 61 headings
