Import Tips

Verify all components use identical silk fabric construction, color, and composition to meet 'ensemble' criteria; provide fabric swatches if requested

Include documentation proving assembly in Hong Kong and origin of knit-to-shape parts to justify the (846) suffix

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as a suit, which requires stricter panel and design rules under heading 6103 notes
