Import Tips

• 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
