Import Tips
• Highlight backcountry certification in invoices to distinguish from alpine; CBP often scrutinizes hybrid designs
• Batch imports in original retail packaging to qualify for set treatment if with skis
• Watch for material declarations if containing minor precious metals per Chapter Note 1
