Import Tips

• Document that pieces are of same fabric, style, color, and size; ensembles must be retail-packaged to distinguish from separate garments

• Obtain fiber content certificates specifying fine animal hair like cashmere or mohair to confirm heading eligibility

• Avoid declaring as track suits (6112) or ski-suits; pitfall is loose packaging leading to classification as individual items under 6106
