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 a 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,

plain
jacket

rounded
tails

down
at
the
back
and
striped
trousers;
evening
dress

black

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) The term "ensemble" means a set of garments (other than suits and articles of heading 6107, 61.08 or 61.09), composed of several pieces made up in identical fabric, put up for retail sale, and comprising:

a "ski overall", that is, a one-piece garment designed to cover the upper and the lower parts of the body; in addition to sleeves and a collar, the ski overall may have pockets or footstraps; or
a "ski ensemble", that is, a set of garments composed of two or three pieces put up for retail sale and comprising:
