Import Tips
• Document as 'ski ensemble component' with matching fabric proofs for sets; single items risk 6205 shift
• Test for silk waste inclusion in 70% threshold; use INV with detailed composition breakdown
• Avoid sleeveless designs for 6205 compliance; common error is incomplete sport use declaration
