Import Tips
• Document end-use as recreational to distinguish from industrial vests; include buyer letters if needed
• Check for metal thread allowance but declare accurately; pitfalls include undeclared linings affecting silk percentage
• Ensure no pockets below waist to avoid 6205/6206 exclusion; measure and note vest length in declarations
