Import Tips
• Document as 'put up for retail sale' with photos showing coordinated packaging; critical for ensemble status
• Test for average stitch count ≥10 per cm in 10x10cm area to confirm knitted and avoid 6105/6106 exclusions
• Watch for right-over-left closure indicating women's; ambiguous items default to women's headings
