Import Tips
• Include photos or specs showing integration with ski jacket (same fabric texture) to substantiate ski-suit classification
• Label fiber content accurately for 647 visa requirements; test for man-made dominance to avoid natural fiber headings
• Watch for misdeclaration as casual pants; emphasize ski-specific reinforcements to prevent reclassification
