Import Tips

Verify all ensemble components match exactly in fabric construction, color, style, and size per Chapter 61 notes to avoid reclassification as separate garments

Include lab test reports certifying synthetic fiber content over 70% to meet HTS synthetic fiber requirements and prevent duty shifts

Package as a retail set with matching sizes; loose components risk classification under individual headings like 6104.23 for jackets alone
