Import Tips
• Provide height measurements to confirm 'girls'' sizing under 86cm body height if borderline with babies' garments in 6209
• Document performance features like reinforcement to justify 'recreational performance outerwear' subheading
• Avoid bulk packaging; retail-ready presentation prevents reclassification as unfinished goods
