Import Tips
• Document retail set packaging showing vest paired with matching ski pants; separate import risks individual classification
• Provide fiber content breakdown proving down thresholds; CBP often tests insulation for accuracy
• Avoid bulk packaging; present as consumer-ready ensemble to meet 'put up for retail sale' requirement
