Import Tips & Compliance
• > Ensure the suit is classified as a set (jacket and trousers) and not as separates to benefit from the suit classification
• Declare the fibre composition accurately, as wool content above 40% may affect classification
• Keep commercial invoices and fabric composition certificates for CBSA verification
