Import Tips
• Provide performance test reports (e.g
• abrasion resistance) to support recreational outerwear claim and avoid classification as ordinary trousers
• Label clearly with fiber breakdown and ensure documentation distinguishes from ski ensembles of heading 6211
• Check for bib and brace elements; if present, confirm they don't alter classification to overalls
