Import Tips
• Verify water resistance via DWR coating documentation and test reports to confirm classification as recreational performance outerwear
• Ensure fiber content label shows over 70% synthetic fibers like nylon or polyester to avoid reclassification
• Provide invoices specifying 'water resistant trousers' to prevent customs misfiling under general apparel
