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
