Import Tips
• Document retail packaging showing ensemble as one upper + one/two lower garments to prove put-up for sale condition
• Avoid pockets below waist or tightening at bottom on components to prevent overlap with headings 6105/6106 exclusions
• Use lab tests for silk purity if blended, as subheading requires silk dominance over other textiles
