Import Tips & Compliance

• Document performance features (e.g

• water resistance ratings) to justify recreational classification over casual

• Use HTS advisory rulings for borderline performance vs. everyday jackets to prevent reclassification

• Avoid common pitfall of generic descriptions; specify 'windbreaker' and material on commercial invoice
