Import Tips

Verify fabric composition meets heading 5903 (coated fabrics) requirements with lab tests to avoid reclassification to basic woven fabrics

Include performance test reports (water resistance, breathability) in documentation to justify 'recreational performance outerwear' status

Label clearly as men's garments with left-over-right closure; watch for customs scrutiny on fiber content exceeding 70% man-made
