Import Tips & Compliance

• Include assembly instructions or photos showing integration into play suits to justify 'parts of play suits' status

• Avoid adding drawstrings or ribbed waistbands that could shift classification under heading 6109 restrictions

• Conduct stitch density checks (min 10 stitches/cm) to confirm not excluded from suit-type headings per notes
