Import Tips

• Document as 'other garments' not ski ensembles; include photos showing lack of matching pants set

• Test for metal thread allowance if present, but confirm silk dominance for 6211.39 subclass

• Classify based on left-over-right closure for men's; ambiguous cuts default to women's headings
