Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is predominantly man-made (e.g

• nylon >70%) via lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton or other chapters

• Include detailed invoices specifying 'with fourchettes' and non-knitted construction to match HTS description and prevent audits

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as sports gloves, which shift to 6216.00.41; ensure commercial packaging isn't retail-oriented
