Import Tips
• Declare poles separately if detachable; integrated pole tents stay in 6306 but metal parts may incur separate duties
• Test for flammability standards compliance, as camping goods often face US safety import requirements
• Avoid bulk packaging mimicking worn goods to prevent erroneous 6309 classification
