Import Tips

• Verify dimensions do not exceed 60 cm per side to avoid reclassification as scarves under heading 6214

• Provide accurate fiber content documentation (100% cotton) and country of origin certificates to meet textile import rules

• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient labeling; ensure 'handkerchief' is clearly marked to prevent classification as apparel accessories
