Import Tips
• Document fiber content with invoices specifying wool percentage; customs may require third-party testing
• Ensure breeches lack swimwear features like elastic leg openings to stay out of swimwear exclusions
• Label as 'ensemble trousers/breeches' on commercial invoice to match HTS description and avoid reclassification
