Import Tips & Compliance

• Use photos and design patents proving ski-specific (e.g

• skin-clip compatibility) to defend against 4203.29 challenges

• Monitor precious metal fittings (e.g

• logo studs); minor ones stay in 4203 but essential character shifts to Chapter 71

• For bulk imports, segregate from retail packs to avoid set classification complications
