Import Tips
• Document knitting process to distinguish from woven caps, preventing shift to heading 6506
• Label fiber content clearly; blends over 50% cotton may still qualify but require precise declaration
• Check for trim materials like plastic brims that could trigger 'trimmed' exclusions or part classifications
