Import Tips
• Verify down content via lab testing to confirm 15%+ total plumage with 35%+ down for 6211.20.08.10 classification; misdeclaration risks penalties
• Provide certificates of origin and plumage sourcing docs to prove compliance with U.S. down import regulations
• Avoid classifying as general outerwear; ensure garment has ski-specific features like ventilation zips to prevent reclassification
