Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide fiber content labels and weave specifications to confirm textile dominance over any plastic components

• Document country-of-origin accurately, as many nylon backpacks originate from Asia with varying preferential duties

• Avoid misdeclaration as luggage if lightweight; heavy-duty models may fall under trunk/suitcase headings
