## Overlaps & pitfalls
A product could be both knitted and embroidered, but the primary construction method determines the code. If a linen is knitted but also has embroidery, it still falls under 6302.40. The key is the base technique: knitting/crocheting vs. other methods. No priority rule is implied—use the dominant manufacturing process
