Import Tips
• Provide height measurements confirming 'boys'' sizing (under adult proportions) to distinguish from men's
• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands if borderline with heading 6109 exclusions
• Declare accurate value per unit; common pitfall is misclassifying as swimwear if water-resistant
