Cotton Women's Suit Skirt from Japan

A tailored A-line skirt made of 100% cotton fabric, designed as the lower component of a women's suit set. It matches the suit jacket in fabric construction, color, and style, imported specifically as part of a complete suit under HTS 6204.12.00.20. This classification applies because it is presented and imported as an integral part of a suit, not sold separately.

Import Tips

• Verify the skirt matches the suit jacket in fabric, color, style, and size per Chapter 62 notes to qualify as a suit part

• Provide documentation proving importation as part of a complete suit set to avoid reclassification as a standalone skirt

• Label fiber content accurately as over 70% cotton to prevent duty shifts to synthetic blends
