Import Tips

• Verify the crocheted construction via lab testing or manufacturer certification to confirm classification under 6302.40, as woven tablecloths shift to 6302.51

• Include detailed fiber content labels (e.g

• 100% cotton) and invoices specifying 'crocheted table linen' to meet U.S

• Customs documentation requirements

• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying handmade items as 'handwoven' which could lead to reclassification under non-knitted headings
