Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is predominantly man-made (e.g
• nylon >70%) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to cotton or other chapters
• Include detailed construction specs in invoices highlighting fourchettes to confirm subheading 6216.00.58 applicability
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as knitted (Chapter 61) which changes duty rates significantly
