Women's Padded Ski Vest with Detachable Sleeves from Japan

This padded sleeveless jacket is made of knitted nylon man-made fibers, designed as part of a ski ensemble with attachments for adding sleeves, suitable for women's use in alpine skiing. It falls under HTS 6112.20.1040 because it meets the criteria for padded sleeveless jackets in ski-suits with sleeve attachments, specifically for women or girls. The padding provides insulation, and the attachments allow conversion to a full jacket.

Import Tips

• Verify the garment qualifies as a ski-suit component by confirming padding, man-made fiber composition (e.g

• nylon/polyester), and sleeve attachment features per Chapter 61 notes

• Provide lab tests for fiber content to avoid misclassification; ensure documentation shows it's for retail ski ensembles, not industrial use
