Import Tips
• Document maximum dimensions (typically 22x14x9 inches) to prove carry-on compatibility and luggage frame purpose
• Avoid co-packing with softshell fabric components that might cause Customs to classify as a partial garment set
• Use ISF filings early as aluminum frames often trigger supply chain security scrutiny due to metal content
