Import Tips
• Classify boys' sizes accurately; garments fitting under 86cm height may compete with heading 6111 for babies' garments
• Provide yarn construction details to confirm knitted origin and avoid misclassification as woven under Chapter 62
• Check for ribbed waistbands or drawstrings, which could exclude it from heading 6109 but are allowed here
