Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing for 'other textile materials' classification, as synthetic blends must exceed wool/man-made fiber thresholds

Ensure country-of-origin marking on label; common pitfall is misclassifying as Chapter 61 if inadvertently knitted

Provide commercial invoice detailing recreational use to avoid reclassification to general apparel headings
