The term “suit” means a set of garments composed of two or three pieces
made up, in respect of their outer surface, in identical fabric and
comprising :
- one suit coat or jacket the outer shell of which, exclusive of
sleeves, consists of four or more panels, designed to cover the upper

lining of the suit coat or jacket; and
-
one garment designed to cover the lower part of the body and consisting
of trousers, breeches or shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a
divided skirt, having neither braces nor bibs.
All
of the components of a “suit” must be of the same fabric construction,
colour and composition; they must also be of the same style and of
corresponding or compatible size. However, these components may have
piping (a strip of fabric sewn into the seam) in a different fabric.
If several separate components to cover the lower part of the body are
presented together (for example, two pairs of trousers or trousers and
shorts, or a skirt or divided skirt and trousers), the
constituent lower part shall be one pair of trousers or, in the case of
women's or girls' suits, the skirt
or divided skirt, the other garments being considered separately.
The term “suit” includes the following sets of garments, whether or not
they fulfil all the above
conditions :
- morning dress, comprising a plain jacket (cutaway) with rounded
tails hanging well down at the back and striped trousers;
-
evening dress (tailcoat), generally made of black fabric, the jacket of
which is relatively short at the front, does not close and has narrow
skirts cut in at the hips and hanging down behind;
-
dinner jacket suits, in which the jacket is similar in style to an
ordinary jacket (though perhaps revealing more of the shirt front), but
has shiny silk or imitation silk lapels.
(b)

articles of heading 62.07 or 62.08) composed of several pieces made up

exception of waistcoats which may also form a second upper garment, and
-
one or two different garments, designed to cover the lower part of the
body and consisting of trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches,
shorts (other than swimwear), a skirt or a divided skirt.
All
of the components of an ensemble must be of the same fabric
