Import Tips
• Document the full ski ensemble (jacket + trousers) with photos and invoices to prove 'put up for retail sale' status
• Conduct fill power testing to substantiate down percentages; CBP may require affidavits for high-down claims
• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete COO declarations, which trigger holds; ensure NFPA 701 flammability compliance if applicable
