Import Tips
• Verify the garment's texture and appearance clearly identify it as ski-specific per Chapter 61 notes to avoid reclassification
• Include lab tests confirming cotton fiber content over 50% and knitting construction for 359 quota compliance
• Document retail packaging if part of a ski ensemble to distinguish from individual outerwear
