Import Tips
• Measure height precisely; ponchos for slightly larger infants risk shifting to 6209.90 or general outerwear headings
• Ensure no ribbed waistbands or pockets below waist to avoid exclusion from similar headings like 6205/6206 notes
• Label as 'babies'' with height specs; lack of clear baby designation defaults to women's/girls' per chapter closure rules
