Import Tips
• Document ski-specific features like thumb loops and merino wool composition to justify 6211 classification over standard shirts
• Ensure declaration specifies 'fine animal hair' with lab tests; pitfall is undervaluing wool content leading to synthetic fiber reclassification
• Use commercial invoices showing athletic end-use; pair with pants only if not qualifying as full ski ensemble per notes
