Import Tips
• Document the steaming and blocking process from 6501 bodies to prove completion under 6505
• Check for feathers or leathers in trims; if substantial, may require separate classification as parts
• Avoid reclassification to toy hats in 9503 by ensuring adult sizing and non-carnival use
