Import Tips
• Grips must be minimal (under 3mm thick); provide construction specs to CBP to avoid footwear reclassification
• Country of origin marking required on visible surfaces; test for flammability compliance under children's sleepwear standards
• Avoid bulk packing without size labels—retail-ready packaging supports babies' garment status
