Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide technical specs on water resistance (e.g

• hydrostatic head rating) and seam sealing to justify ski/snowboard classification

• Ensure proper invoicing separates pants from full suits or ensembles to avoid reclassification

• Watch for quotas under 647 category; check current visa requirements for synthetic trousers
