Import Tips
• Provide detailed invoices specifying silk percentage and vest dimensions to confirm 'vest' subcategory
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistband to avoid exclusion from similar headings like 6205
• Use commercial invoices distinguishing from ensembles; single vests don't qualify as track/ski-suits
