Wool-Blend Synthetic Suit Jacket and Trousers Set from Japan

A men's two-piece suit set consisting of a tailored jacket and matching trousers, made primarily from synthetic fibers but containing over 36% wool by weight for warmth and durability. This qualifies under HTS 6203.12.10.00 as a 'suit' per Chapter 62 notes, with identical fabric on outer surfaces, same color, and compatible sizing. The wool content exceeds the threshold, placing it in this specific subheading.

Import Tips

• Verify wool content via lab testing (ASTM D1909) to confirm ≥36% fine animal hair; declare accurately to avoid reclassification

• Provide set packaging evidence showing jacket and trousers sold together for retail to meet 'suit' definition

• Label fiber composition per FTC rules (e.g

• '64% Polyester, 36% Wool') and include country of origin markings
