Import Tips
• Document snowmobile-specific features like extended cuffs and windproofing to substantiate sports designation
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring no metal thread exceeds limits, as chapter allows but may trigger additional scrutiny
• Provide fiber content invoices; artificial fibers must dominate to stay out of synthetic rubber or other material headings
