Import Tips
• Label garments clearly as 'men's' based on left-over-right front closure per Chapter notes to prevent reclassification to women's headings
• Include commercial invoices with HTS breakdown and fabric swatches to confirm corduroy texture during customs examination
• Avoid bundling with trousers unless qualifying as a full suit set, as individual jackets must classify separately
