Import Tips
• Document set presentation in photos/invoices; loose components risk separate classification under 6206 (tops) or 6204.62 (shorts)
• Avoid common pitfall of mixing colors slightly—Chapter Note requires identical color for ensemble status
• Label clearly as 'not swimwear' to stay in 6204; swimwear has separate provisions
