Import Tips
• Verify fiber content with lab tests to confirm 100% cashmere (Kashmir goats) as blends may shift to other subheadings
• Label garments clearly as 'girls'' with size and care instructions; include country of origin for USMCA preferences
• Avoid common pitfalls like misclassifying as adult sizes—measure based on chest/height for girls' designation
