Import Tips
• Document spandex as synthetic fiber (not rubber) to remain in 6204; high elastane may trigger 5903 coated fabric review
• Use girls' sizing charts (under 86cm reference for youth) and photos to confirm classification over women's shorts
• Check for set packaging; unbundled from tops avoids ensemble rules in chapter notes
