Import Tips
• Label front closure direction (right-over-left for women) to match Chapter 62 gender classification rules
• Declare as 'dress' not 'shirt-blouse'; include photos showing lower body coverage to avoid 6206 reclass
• Test for shrinkage; cotton shirt dresses often exceed allowable limits, leading to rejections
