Import Tips & Compliance

Provide photos and set packaging evidence showing coordination with ski jacket for retail sale to maintain ski-ensemble status

Label with DWR (durable water repellent) specifications and confirm no pockets below waist to avoid 6204 misclassification

Check for country-of-origin marking on visible parts; common pitfall is incomplete fiber content disclosure leading to penalties
