Import Tips

Provide technical specs on breathability and water resistance in entry docs to justify recreational performance subheading

Avoid common pitfalls by distinguishing from industrial safety gear; declare as consumer apparel to prevent higher duties

Use HTS lookup tools for precise 10-digit code; mismatches lead to CBP exams and delays
