Import Tips
• Obtain lab certification verifying at least 20% feather/down content by weight to avoid reclassification
• Declare exact fill power (e.g
• 800-fill down) and origin of feathers on commercial invoice for CBP scrutiny
• Check for down processing standards like RDS to prevent issues with animal welfare regulations
