Import Tips
• Document as 'ensemble' not 'suit' on entry forms; misclassification as suit can trigger higher duties or audits
• Test for wool content independently; importers often face challenges proving exact percentages without certificates
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistbands to avoid overlap with headings 6205/6206 per Chapter exclusions
