Import Tips
• Confirm body height if borderline with babies' garments; provide size charts showing over 86cm height to avoid 6209 classification
• Document insulation material separately if synthetic; pitfall is undervaluing padding which affects duty calculation
• Use precise invoice terms like 'woven cotton padded vest, recreational use' to match statistical suffix 50.20
