Import Tips
• Declare as 'non-inflatable in package' form; inflation mechanism doesn't change lifebelt classification
• Include DOT/UN approval numbers for compressed CO2 cartridges in import docs to satisfy hazardous materials rules
• Avoid bulk packing with other textiles; belt life preservers require individual retail packaging
