Import Tips
• Document weave structure (not knit) to confirm Chapter 62 applicability over Chapter 61
• Include height measurements and photos in entry to prove 'babies' garment' status under 6209
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests sets; declare as individual blouses/shirts to match subheading exclusion
