Import Tips
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'culottes' vs 'skirts' to avoid confusion with 6204.49 pure silk skirts
• Ensure right-over-left closure for women's classification; left-over-right may shift to men's headings
• Test for metal thread content, allowed but must be declared to confirm Chapter 62 applicability
