Import Tips
• Verify down content via lab testing and include certificates of origin and fiber content labels to meet HTS 6203.42.17.00 criteria
• Ensure accurate weight declarations for down/plumage; misclassification risks penalties under cotton trousers subheading
• Provide invoices detailing fabric composition to avoid reclassification to general cotton trousers
