Import Tips
• Inspect for average stitch count ≥10 per cm to avoid exclusion from similar headings like 6105/6106
• Separate from ensembles; if bundled with upper garments, reclassify as 6104.62 ensemble
• Use detailed invoices specifying 'knitted silk shorts' to prevent bulk packaging misclassification
