Import Tips
• Confirm no pockets below waist per notes for 6205/6206 exclusion; photograph designs during customs valuation
• Provide mill certificates for artificial fiber purity; pitfall is blends pushing into other subheadings
• For sets, separate trousers/shorts from suit ensembles to prevent reclassification under 6203.42
