Import Tips
• Verify 347 cotton content via lab tests; label fiber composition accurately to avoid reclassification
• Include documentation proving importation as part of a ski-suit ensemble, not standalone trousers
• Ensure water resistance meets technical standards; common pitfall is insufficient proof of ski-specific design
