Women's Cotton Tailored Suit Set from China

A classic women's suit set consisting of a tailored jacket with four or more panels on the outer shell and matching trousers, both made of identical cotton fabric in the same color and style. This qualifies as a 'suit' under HTS 6204.12.00 because it meets the chapter note definition for a set of two pieces designed to cover upper and lower body with identical fabric construction. It is of cotton and not knitted.

Import Tips

• Verify all suit components use identical cotton fabric composition, color, and construction per chapter notes to avoid reclassification as separate garments

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'suit set' and matching fabric details; common pitfall is mismatched colors leading to duty increases

• Ensure labeling includes fiber content (e.g

• 100% cotton) and country of origin for CBP compliance
