Import Tips
• Document ensemble components as a set on packing lists with matching fabric swatches to prove retail sale packaging
• Avoid common pitfall of separating components in shipment, which could reclassify as individual trousers/jackets under 6203.49
• Obtain Category 643 visa stamps for countries with restraints; delays occur without pre-shipment approval
