Import Tips
• Include lab test reports confirming cotton content over 70% to prevent reclassification as man-made fiber blends
• Label clearly as 'girls'' with age-appropriate sizing; pitfall is adult petite sizes mistaken for girls'
• Declare as single dress unit, not ensemble, to avoid scrutiny under suit/ensemble definitions
