Import Tips
• Confirm men's sizing and left-over-right front closure per chapter note 10 to avoid women's classification
• Retain supplier down blend sheets; mixed feather/down must precisely calculate plumage ratios
• For bulk imports, segregate recreational from workwear to prevent averaging into other statistical categories
