Import Tips

• Verify down content via lab testing to confirm ≥15% total down/waterfowl and ≥35% down within plumage; retain certificates for CBP review

• Ensure all ensemble parts share identical fabric construction, color, and size; import as set to avoid reclassification as individual garments

• Label as ski-specific with down fill details; common pitfall is misstating plumage percentages leading to duty audits
