Import Tips
• Document 'performance' attributes like stretch and waterproof ratings to justify 6210.40 subheading over general apparel
• Check for prohibited waist pockets or ribbed hems that could reclassify under 6205/6206 notes exclusion
• Bundle with sets carefully; individual garments stay in 6210, but ensembles may shift per Chapter definitions
