Polyester Women's Suit Skirt from Japan

A knee-length A-line skirt made of knitted polyester fabric, designed specifically as the lower component of a women's business suit set. It matches the suit jacket in fabric composition, color, and style, qualifying as part of a suit under HTS 6104.19.80.20 due to its importation as a suit part subject to cotton restraints, though primarily polyester. This classification applies to made-up knitted skirts imported with suits.

Import Tips

• Verify the skirt matches the suit jacket in fabric, color, style, and size per Chapter 61 notes to qualify as a suit part; mismatches lead to reclassification

• Provide documentation proving importation as part of a suit set, including invoices showing paired shipment with jacket

• Label fiber content accurately (e.g

• 100% polyester) and note cotton restraint status to avoid delays under quota restrictions
