Import Tips
• Document retail set packaging to distinguish from individual garments, preventing split classification
• Conduct yarn analysis for silk waste percentage, as blends under 70% reclassify easily
• Avoid drawstrings or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude from related headings per Chapter notes
