Import Tips
• Document bib design and down fill specs; ensure no pockets below waist to avoid conflict with 6205/6206 notes
• Pair with matching upper garment for ensemble classification; import separately risks individual garment heading
• Test for waterfowl feather ratios; U.S
• Customs requires proof against mislabeling as synthetic insulation
