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
