Import Tips

Verify baby height limit under 86 cm with manufacturer specs and include height certification in documentation to confirm classification in heading 6111

Ensure fiber content label shows at least 50% cotton; blends may shift to other subheadings—test samples for compliance

Avoid importing as part of ensemble sets to prevent reclassification; declare as individual items with photos proving standalone retail packaging
