Import Tips
• Include commercial invoices stating 'booties for baby garment set #XYZ' with size charts confirming baby dimensions (≤86cm)
• Avoid common pitfalls by not shipping with drawstrings or non-knitted elements that could trigger reclassification
• Conduct stitch density tests (≥10 stitches/cm) if challenged, as low density might exclude from Chapter 61
