Wool Blend Women's Ensemble Suit from China
This women's ensemble consists of a tailored jacket and matching skirt made from a wool-blend fabric, put up for retail sale. It qualifies as an ensemble under heading 6204 because it comprises an upper body garment and a lower body garment of identical fabric construction, color, and style, not meeting the stricter suit definition. The wool content subjects it to restraints (435).

Import Tips
• Verify wool fiber content exceeds thresholds triggering restraint (435); provide lab test certificates to Customs
• Ensure ensemble components are packaged together for retail sale with matching fabric swatches for classification proof
• Avoid misclassification as separate garments by documenting set presentation; common pitfall is splitting for lower duties
