Import Tips

• Verify all suit components match in fabric construction, color, and size per Chapter 62 notes to avoid reclassification as separate garments

• Include detailed fiber content labels and commercial invoices specifying man-made fiber percentage to comply with category 643 quotas

• Check for visa requirements on origin country textiles; common pitfall is missing documentation leading to entry refusal
