Import Tips
• Document cuff and pleat construction in manifests to avoid confusion with shorts or breeches subheadings
• Conduct fiber content analysis; cotton must predominate to stay in 6203.42, avoiding man-made blends
• Separate shipments of trousers from jackets to prevent automatic suit-set classification under heading notes
