Import Tips
• Verify water resistance via hydrostatic head testing (e.g
• >10,000mm) and include lab reports in documentation
• Ensure garment has skiing-specific features like reinforced cuffs; avoid misclassification as general outerwear
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is claiming non-waterproof laminates
