Fischer Twin Skin Pro Cross-Country Skis from Japan

These high-performance cross-country skis from Fischer feature a twin skin waxless base with integrated nylon mohair skins for optimal grip and glide on groomed trails. Designed specifically for cross-country skiing, they measure 186 cm in length with lightweight wood core construction. They fall under HTS 9506.11.20.00 as cross-country skis, distinct from alpine skis due to their lighter build and lack of metal edges.

Import Tips

Verify the skis are designed for cross-country use (lightweight, no metal edges) to avoid misclassification as alpine skis under 9506.11.40

Provide manufacturer specs confirming length, camber, and binding compatibility to support HTS 9506.11.20.00 classification

Ensure labeling distinguishes from snowshoes or touring skis to prevent reclassification
