Import Tips
• Submit commercial invoice specifying 'ski-suit trousers' with matching upper garment details to support classification
• Avoid common pitfall of generic descriptions; use 'water-resistant ski pants for women's ski ensembles' explicitly
• Ensure compliance with flammability standards for apparel; test for heavy metals in coatings if from high-risk origins
