Import Tips
• Provide documentation like photos or affidavits proving appreciable wear to avoid reclassification as new goods under Chapters 61-62
• Enter in bulk bales or sacks; retail packaging may shift classification to other headings
• Verify no contamination or hazardous materials, as used clothing often requires fumigation certificates
