Import Tips

• Document end-use as 'personal hygiene/sports towel' to distinguish from bath towels requiring 6302 classification

• Test for cotton purity; synthetic blends classify under different man-made fiber subheadings

• Import in retail packaging, not bulk bales, to avoid 6309 worn article rules
