Import Tips & Compliance

• Confirm nylon content via fiber analysis; mismatches lead to duties under different material headings

• Use commercial invoices specifying 'recreational performance outerwear' to support classification

• Avoid misdeclaration as workwear; ensure no industrial branding to prevent scrutiny
