Import Tips

• Verify all components use identical synthetic fiber composition (>70% polyester) with lab tests to confirm classification as a suit

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'suit set' presentation for retail sale to avoid separate classification of jacket and trousers

• Label garments with fiber content per FTC rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring as ensemble if lower body has multiple options
