Import Tips
• Document down fill origin with CITES certification if applicable for waterfowl feathers to prevent customs holds
• Use AWI fiber content declarations; pitfall is underreporting plumage leading to duty miscalculation
• Classify as trousers only if designed for lower body coverage without upper garment integration
