- Knitted vs. Woven: Is the towel knitted or woven? This determines whether you use the "92" (not knitted/crocheted) or another appropriate sub-heading.
- Certification: Depending on the final HS code, you may need to provide material composition reports or other certifications to support your declaration.
- Date of Import: Be aware of the tariff changes taking effect after April 2, 2025.
- Supplier Documentation: Request a detailed commercial invoice from your supplier specifying the material composition and construction of the towels.
- Customs Ruling: If you are unsure, consider applying for a binding customs ruling to ensure accurate classification and avoid potential penalties.
