Import Tips

• Verify the outer surface material composition via lab testing to confirm it qualifies as 'sheeting of textile materials' and not plastic-dominant

• Include detailed packing lists specifying instrument type and dimensions to avoid misclassification as general tool bags

• Ensure labeling complies with CPSC standards if padded interiors contain foam that could be deemed a toy or sports accessory
