Import Tips
• Declare exact stitch count and operation type (mechanical vs. electronic) in entry docs to match statistical suffixes accurately
• Ensure proper HTS suffix by confirming not 'automatic'—include engineering diagrams if challenged
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking industrial shipments; use consumer retail boxes to affirm household use
