Import Tips
• Verify buoyancy and material certifications (e.g
• PVC or drop-stitch construction) to confirm classification as water-sport equipment
• Include detailed photos and specs in entry docs to avoid misclassification as flotation toys under 9503
• Check for non-slip deck pad features that distinguish it from general pool floats
