Import Tips
• Include ESD (electrostatic discharge) test reports and cleanroom class compliance (e.g
• ISO 14644) for customs validation
• Document as 'not for everyday wear' to differentiate from 6205; common issue is undersized packaging mistaken for retail apparel
• Ensure no ribbed waistband or lower pockets to stay out of 6205/6206 scope
