Import Tips
• Confirm left-over-right closure for women's classification per Chapter Note; ambiguous cuts default to women's headings
• Include commercial invoices specifying 'ensemble set' and matching fabric details to prevent customs splitting into jacket (6204.39) and trousers (6204.69)
• Test for silk purity; synthetic blends may reclassify under 6204.69 (other textile materials)
