Import Tips
• Label contents as 'toiletry bag' not 'cosmetic case' to match hierarchy; ensure plastic surface exceeds 50% exterior coverage
• Obtain certificates confirming plastic sheeting composition to prevent misclassification as textile if reinforced
• Avoid pitfalls by declaring exact dimensions and features, as oversized items may trigger quota checks
