Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the morning coat is imported without the matching striped trousers
A single jacket would be classified under jackets, not suits.
If the trousers are of a different fibre composition than the jacket
The set would not meet the 'identical fabric' requirement for a suit.
