Import Tips
• Dye/print processes must not alter fiber to synthetic; test for silk purity to stay in silk subheading
• Label as 'shorts' not 'divided skirts' on manifests to match 6204.69.6550; misdescription risks 6204.52 audit
• Bulk import? Separate retail packs to avoid set classification under ensemble notes
