Import Tips
• Include lab tests for water resistance levels to confirm 'other' subheading and prevent shifts to higher-duty categories
• Ensure invoices specify 'recreational performance outerwear' to support classification over general trousers
• Avoid marketing as 'waterproof' if not fully impermeable, as this could trigger heading 6210 reclassification
