Import Tips
• Label garments clearly with fiber content and country of origin; silk imports often require additional certificates
• Avoid bulk packaging that suggests industrial use, as retail presentation affects ensemble classification
• Inspect for ribbed waistbands or waist pockets, which could reclassify to 6205 if resembling shirts
