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
