Import Tips
• Document retail packaging and matching sizes to prove ensemble status, preventing split classification
• Test wool content via lab analysis if blends exceed 15% non-wool to confirm fine animal hair heading
• Avoid importing with extra trousers pairs, as chapter notes specify one lower garment per ensemble
