Import Tips
• Conduct fiber burn tests for nylon confirmation; mislabeling as cotton leads to reclassification and penalties
• Include sterilization certificates for hygiene products; common issue is insufficient packing lists for multi-pack imports
• Monitor textile visa requirements from origins like Vietnam; use HTS advisory rulings for borderline knitted items
