Import Tips
• Provide technical data sheet proving water resistance; non-compliance leads to higher general duty rates
• Classify as 'anorak/windbreaker' not 'coat' to stay in subheading; use invoice descriptions matching hierarchy
• Avoid sets with pants to prevent ensemble classification under 6203 notes
