Import Tips
• Verify down content via lab testing to confirm 15%+ total plumage and 35%+ down percentage, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Include detailed fiber content labels and invoices specifying down/waterfowl plumage weights for CBP verification
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as lower-down garments; ensure right-over-left closure for women's classification
