Import Tips & Compliance

Verify binding compatibility certification (e.g

ISO 13992 for backcountry) to ensure classification as cross-country equipment and avoid reclassification as parts

Include detailed technical specs and user manuals in documentation to prove non-alpine use; common pitfall is mislabeling as general ski parts

Check for anti-dumping duties on European ski gear and ensure proper country-of-origin labeling per CBP requirements
