Import Tips
• Verify water resistance meets technical standards and provide lab test reports for cotton content over 70% to confirm 359 classification
• Label garments clearly as men's based on left-over-right closure and ensure no prohibited features like waist pockets for Chapter 62 compliance
• Avoid misclassification as swimwear by documenting ski-specific design elements like insulation and texture
