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
