Import Tips
• Include lab tests for fabric composition (e.g
• nylon with PU membrane) and photos of full ensemble to CBP for verification
• Mark country of origin indelibly on inner label; ensure no braces/bibs to stay out of ensemble definitions
• Avoid declaring as 'pants' generically; specify 'ski-suit parts' to prevent 6204 shift
