Import Tips & Compliance
• Confirm the dressing gown is made of woven cotton, not knitted, despite the 'waffle knit' name, as heading 62.08 applies to non-knitted articles
• The shawl collar and tie belt should be described on the invoice to support classification as a dressing gown
• Ensure the garment is not for babies under 86 cm in height, which would fall under heading 62.09
