Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥23% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties

• Provide ensemble presentation documentation showing matching components for retail sale to justify ensemble classification

• Avoid common pitfalls like importing as individual jackets without ensemble context, which shifts to other 6103 subheadings
