Import Tips

• Label garments clearly as 'girls'' with height/age indicators if under 86cm to prevent confusion with babies' garments in 6111

• Ensure no swimwear features like elastic leg openings; otherwise, classify under swimwear exclusions

• Pre-validate against category 648 quotas via OTEXA to avoid shipment holds during restraint periods
