Import Tips
• Obtain a NAFTA or USMCA certificate if from qualifying countries to potentially reduce duties; declare as originating goods
• Ensure no forbidden features like waist-level tightening to stay in 6205; document construction details for CBP review
• Batch imports under one entry for efficiency, but segregate by color/fiber for accurate 340 panel declarations
