Import Tips
• Label with fiber content and care instructions; ensure 'water resistant' claim is substantiated to maintain 6211 classification
• Import in retail packaging with matching ski jacket to prove ensemble status; loose shipment risks reclassification as individual apparel
• Avoid mixing with non-ski items; declare HTS precisely to prevent duties under higher general trouser rates
