Import Tips

Verify water resistance via AATCC or ISO tests and confirm elastomeric fiber content >3% with lab analysis for Chapter 62 compliance

Ensure weight documentation per dozen pairs; common pitfall is miscalculating due to variable sizing—test samples

Declare as 'recreational performance outerwear' and provide no-belt-loops photos to avoid reclassification to general trousers
