Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm at least 36% wool or fine animal hair, as required for this subheading; discrepancies can lead to reclassification

Provide detailed invoices specifying the suit components (jacket and skirt/trousers) and their matching fabric to prove 'suit' status under Chapter 62 notes

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as ensembles if not put up for retail sale as a set; separate components may shift to other headings
