Import Tips
• Measure body height if under 86 cm to check against 6209 for babies' garments; over classifies here
• Document as individual shorts, not ensembles, to prevent grouping under 6204.19 for suit sets
• Avoid pockets below waist if resembling 6205-style garments, which could trigger reclassification
