Import Tips
• Verify the waistcoat matches the suit's fabric, color, and style exactly as per Chapter 62 suit definitions to avoid reclassification; include commercial invoices specifying 'part of suit' and matching set details
• Ensure no retail packaging that suggests individual sale, as this could shift to heading 6204.49
