Import Tips
• Conduct stitch density checks (min 10/cm if borderline with 6105/6106); document knitting process
• Avoid drawstrings or ribbed waistbands on shorts to prevent shift to other headings like 6109
• Use commercial invoices specifying 'ensemble set' with component breakdowns for quota validation
