Import Tips
• Document weave structure (e.g
• twill) to distinguish from knits, preventing misclassification to Chapter 61
• Avoid pockets below waist if intending 6205 classification, as this adds trouser features qualifying for 6204
• Batch test for cotton purity; blends over 30% man-made may shift to 6204.69 subheadings
