Import Tips
• Provide yarn composition breakdowns exceeding 5% non-specified fibers to justify 'other' classification and prevent duty adjustments
• Ensure no square shape over 60cm sides, as those classify as handkerchiefs under 6213.90
• Use HTS advisory rulings for blends to mitigate risks of reclassification during entry
