Import Tips

• Obtain US Coast Guard approval documentation (UL or similar certification) prior to import, as unapproved lifejackets may be refused entry

• Label products clearly with buoyancy rating, size, and USCG approval number to comply with 33 CFR 175 labeling requirements

• Avoid misclassification as general apparel; provide evidence of flotation testing to prevent reclassification to Chapter 62
