Import Tips
• Use AQL inspections to ensure boning integrity; defective items risk classification as 'parts' under 6212.90
• Declare exact fiber percentages (e.g
• 85% nylon/15% spandex) to match statistical suffix 649 requirements
• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready units better support 'made-up article' status per Chapter notes
