Import Tips
• Conduct third-party testing for down purity to meet US CBP requirements and prevent downshifting penalties
• Declare exact plumage breakdown on commercial invoice; mismatches lead to audits or duty adjustments
• Check garment closure (right-over-left for women's/girls') per chapter notes to confirm gender classification
