Import Tips

• Document the full suit set presentation at import to justify 6104.19.60.20; isolated skirts risk higher general duty

• Confirm no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands, as these exclude from certain headings per notes to 6109

• Use commercial invoice specifying 'part of suit' and matching details to prevent CBP reclassification
