Import Tips & Compliance

Document set composition with photos or invoices showing coordination with upper garment for ensemble status

Conduct fiber burn tests if blend ratios are unclear, as synthetics over 70% shift duty rates

Avoid right-over-left closure mimicking women's styles, which defaults to women's headings per chapter notes
