Import Tips
• Conduct fill power and weight percentage tests on down to substantiate claims; retain lab reports for CBP audits
• Ensure 'down' labeling distinguishes from feathers/plumage; use Aviso or EDFA certifications for traceability
• Package as individual garments, not sets, to avoid ensemble classification; declare exact down weight per unit
