Import Tips

Verify down content via lab testing to confirm ≥15% plumage and ≥35% down within plumage, ≥10% total down for accurate classification

Include detailed fiber composition labels and invoices specifying recreational performance use to avoid reclassification as general trousers

Ensure country-of-origin certification for down, as waterfowl plumage sourcing impacts documentation requirements
