Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Composition: The distinction between "knitted/crocheted" (Chapter 61) and "not knitted/crocheted" (Chapter 62) is crucial. Ensure the correct classification based on the fabric construction.
- Fiber Content: The "man-made fibers" designation in 6114.30 impacts the tariff. Provide accurate fiber content information.
- "Recreational Performance Outerwear": Be prepared to justify this classification if questioned. What makes these garments "performance" outerwear?
- Post-April 2, 2025 Duty Increase: Factor in the potential 30% additional duty if your goods will be imported after this date.
- Country of Origin: The country of origin rules are important.
- Valuation: The declared value of your goods is critical for duty calculation.
- Certifications: Depending on the destination country, you may need specific certifications (e.g., textile content labels, safety standards for toys).
Next Steps:
- Double-check the fabric construction of each garment.
- Confirm the fiber content percentages.
- Review the specific import regulations for your destination country.
- Consider obtaining a binding tariff ruling from the customs authority in your destination country for definitive classification.
