Import Tips
• Document ensemble composition with photos and invoices showing matching lower garments to avoid classification as individual shirts
• Conduct fiber analysis certificates for wool percentage; CBP may test blends exceeding 23% threshold
• Avoid common pitfall of importing loose components—ensure retail-ready set presentation
