Import Tips

• Verify down content via lab testing (e.g

• ISO 1833 for fiber weight) to confirm ≥15% plumage and ≥35% down within plumage for classification

• Include detailed fiber composition labels and invoices specifying down percentage to avoid reclassification to 6203.43.40.00

• Ensure no swimwear features; common pitfall is misdeclaring insulated pants as general synthetic trousers
