Import Tips
• Submit wool content declaration and mill certificates; quotas fill quickly—track via OTEXA for restraint (447) status
• Confirm breeches design excludes swimwear features; provide photos or sketches if challenged on classification
• Avoid selling as sets with matching jackets, as that could reclassify under suit/ensemble provisions
