Import Tips
• Document compression levels and non-orthopedic use to prevent shifts to medical appliances under 9021
• Use HTS statistical suffixes accurately; 'other' requires no pockets or ribbed waistbands per notes
• Test for stitch density (>10 per cm) if challenged, as low density may exclude from Chapter 61
