Import Tips
• Test for down integrity (no excessive feathers); document with lab reports to avoid 'other plumage' reclass to 6204.63.25.00
• Specify 'non-swimwear' in descriptions; swim-like features shift to 6211.12 or excluded categories
• Use girls' sizing (height-based if under 86cm for 6209 priority, but here as shorts in 6204); retain pattern specs
