โข 55% linen, 45% rayon) and test for cotton traces affecting 340 restraints
โข Provide origin certificates for linen sourcing; ensure no ribbed waistband disqualifying from 6205 per notes
โข Avoid pitfalls by distinguishing from blouses (women's) or ensembles; use left-over-right front closure for men's classification
