Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'suit-type jacket' construction and synthetic base material to avoid confusion with outerwear in Chapter 62

• Ensure left-over-right front closure for men's classification; include care labels compliant with FTC textile rules
