Import Tips

• Conduct fiber content analysis to prove nylon textile dominates outer surface; minimal plastic panels shouldn't alter classification

• Provide packing list detailing backpack capacity and features to distinguish from toy/child backpacks in other subheadings

• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain Asian textile backpacks; check USTR lists before importing
