Import Tips

• Include care labels detailing exact fiber composition (e.g

• 40% wool, 60% polyester) to comply with US FTC labeling and HTS classification

• Document that all suit pieces are of corresponding sizes and same fabric construction to avoid classification as separate garments

• Watch for reclassification if piping uses different fabric exceeding allowed limits, potentially affecting 'identical fabric' status
