Import Tips & Compliance

• Include flex rating and intended use documentation to distinguish from rigid alpine models

• Ensure packaging labels specify 'for snow-skis only' to avoid toy or playground equipment confusion

• Monitor EU origin rules as many bindings are manufactured there with potential quota restrictions
