Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% synthetic (e.g
• polyester, acrylic) via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton or wool headings
• Ensure dimensions exceed 60 cm on all sides with documentation to distinguish from handkerchiefs in 6213
• Label as 'made-up' articles; provide invoices showing retail packaging to prevent classification as fabric yardage
