Import Tips
• Verify fiber content lab tests to confirm 70%+ silk; discrepancies lead to reclassification and penalties
• Document that jacket and trousers match in fabric, color, style per Chapter notes to qualify as a 'suit'
• Avoid common pitfall of importing as separates; mismatched sizes or fabrics shift to 6203.49 or 6203.43
