Import Tips
• Verify the jacket's exclusion from 6201 by documenting technical features like waterproof membranes or ventilation systems in import invoices
• Include care labels specifying fiber content (e.g
• nylon, polyester) as required for Chapter 62 apparel
• Avoid misclassification as swimwear or ski-suits; provide performance specs to justify recreational outerwear category
