Import Tips

• Verify water resistance via lab tests (e.g

• hydrostatic head >1000mm) to confirm classification; provide set assembly documentation

• Include invoices showing import as parts of matching ski ensembles with upper garments of same fabric

• Label fiber content accurately (cotton >50%) and avoid pockets below waist to prevent reclassification under 6204
