Last updated: April 2026 dataWoven ski suits — constructed from cut-and-sewn woven shell fabrics rather than knit structures — occupy a distinct classification from their knitted counterparts and from separate ski jackets or trousers entered individually. The defining commercial feature is the one-piece or coordinated two-piece design marketed specifically for alpine or cross-country skiing, which separates them from general outerwear track suits. Importers sourcing technical ski suits with waterproof membranes or taped seams should verify whether the outer shell fabric meets the woven-fabric threshold, as laminated constructions can raise classification questions.

The key distinction is the garment's design intent and construction features: ski suits typically incorporate water-resistant or waterproof outer shells, reinforced seat and knee panels, and closures suited to cold-weather alpine use. Track suits are designed for general athletic activity and lack these technical features. CBP looks at the totality of design characteristics, not just the label, when making this determination.
A coordinated two-piece ski suit (jacket and bib pants) can qualify as a 'set' if both pieces are presented together, made of the same fabric, and clearly designed for joint use. When classified as a set, the essential character rule typically assigns the classification based on the component that gives the set its primary character. If sold separately, each piece is classified independently under its own heading.
