Import Tips
• Verify the garment's texture and appearance clearly indicate ski use per chapter notes to justify 6112 classification
• Provide lab tests confirming knitted/crocheted construction and waterproof features; declare as ensemble if sold with pants
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as general jackets under 6110 if no ski-specific design elements like reinforced cuffs
