Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥50% cotton/man-made fibers, as this determines classification and duty rate

Include coating specifications in invoices and provide samples if requested by customs for fourchette verification

Avoid misclassification as knitted gloves (Chapter 61); ensure documentation proves woven construction
