Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide assembly instructions or set packaging evidence showing shorts as play suit parts to support 6103.42.1065 classification

• Test stitch density (min 10 per cm) if disputed, as low density may exclude from certain headings per Chapter notes

• Label with country of origin and care instructions; watch for reclassification if sold individually post-import
