Import Tips & Compliance

Verify all ensemble components match in fabric construction, color, style, and size per chapter notes to avoid reclassification as separate items

Provide detailed composition labels showing silk content and knitted construction; common pitfall is incomplete retail packaging documentation

Declare as 'other' silk ensembles, not suits, since sweater lacks the multi-panel jacket structure required for suit classification
