Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% wool via lab tests for accurate classification under 6111.90.05; blends with synthetics may shift to other subheadings

• Include height specification documentation proving under 86 cm to qualify as babies' garments per heading 6111 note (a)

• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as adult sizes, which could reclassify to 6110; ensure retail packaging emphasizes infant use
