Import Tips
• Distinguish from swimwear by emphasizing non-waterproof, trail-specific design in import documentation
• Monitor annual quota usage for category 448 to prevent overfill rejections at entry
• Use accurate HTS descriptions matching 'trousers, breeches and shorts' to avoid reclassification
