Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 100% cotton or cotton-flax blend, as synthetic mixes shift to other subheadings
• Include detailed knitting process documentation to distinguish from sewn hat shapes excluded from related headings
• Label as 'knitted headgear' on invoices to prevent reclassification as generic textile articles under Chapter 63
