Import Tips
• Document 'recreational performance' features like insulation specs to justify 6202.40.3520 over general apparel headings
• Ensure no pockets below waist or ribbed waistband to avoid exclusion from padded jacket provisions in notes
• Batch import quotas may apply; check 659 category limits annually via OTEXA to prevent over-entry penalties
