Import Tips & Compliance

Provide certificates of origin and fiber analysis to distinguish linen from cotton, preventing misclassification

Label as 'pre-tied' or 'self-tie' clearly; bulk shipments risk parts duty under 6217 if not made-up

Watch for seasonal quotas on certain textiles; pair with proper HTS for sets if sold with matching pocket squares
