Import Tips
• Document recreational end-use (e.g
• equestrian) to justify performance classification over standard trousers
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistband to avoid exclusion from similar headings like 6205
• Use invoices specifying silk waste content if blended, with test reports for customs verification
