Import Tips
• Document the crocheting process and cotton purity via mill certificates to confirm classification under knitted/crocheted subheading
• Ensure packaging clearly indicates single-use nature to distinguish from reusable cloth diapers
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as 'reusable' which could trigger Chapter 63 classification for made-up textile articles
