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
