Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the bibs are not printed with decorative motifs that are more than subsidiary to their use, as that would move them to Chapter 49
• If the bibs are packaged for retail sale with feeding accessories, consider whether they form a set
• Declare the cellulose wadding composition and the intended care setting
