Import Tips
• Label with exact fiber breakdown (e.g
• 75% polyester, 25% wool) and use FTC care labels to comply with US marking rules
• Provide size charts showing boys' sizing to confirm 'boys'' classification under left-over-right closure note
• Avoid bulk packaging; present as retail-ready to prevent set classification issues
