Import Tips
• Conduct fiber/gauge testing if needles include material blends; document to prevent misclassification as coated tools
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'knitting tools' – specify 'machine needles' in commercial invoices
• For EU imports, align with similar TARIC codes; prepare for additional origin rules under textile agreements
