Import Tips
• Verify outer surface is predominantly man-made fibers like nylon or polyester via lab testing to avoid reclassification
• Include detailed packing lists and fiber content declarations; common pitfall is mislabeling as leather-covered
• Ensure compliance with CPSC standards for zippers and straps if marketed for consumer use
