Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm no ribbed waistband or below-waist pockets to avoid 6205/6206 exclusion; document as athletic wear

Use commercial invoices specifying exact silk percentage; discrepancies lead to CBP reclassification and penalties

For bulk imports, segregate from sets; individual pieces stay in 6211, but retail sets may invoke ensemble rules
