Import Tips
• Include lab analysis proving merino wool yarn meets 18.5 micron threshold; discrepancies lead to reclassification and penalties
• Document suit set composition, emphasizing identical fabric to trousers for Note 3(a) eligibility
• Label clearly as men's suit component; pitfall is confusing with evening wear styles not explicitly listed in notes
