Import Tips
• Document knit stitch density to distinguish from woven alternatives and confirm Chapter 61 applicability
• Label as 'men's' based on left-over-right closure per chapter notes to avoid default to women's headings
• Watch for misdeclaration as swimwear, which excludes from this subheading; provide usage intent proof
