Import Tips

• Verify corduroy weave has at least 3 wales per centimeter and ensure fiber content label states 100% cotton for accurate classification

• Provide commercial invoice detailing garment measurements and 'girls'' sizing to confirm under height 86cm if borderline with babies' garments

• Avoid misclassification as skirts by documenting full dress construction; common pitfall is incomplete assembly details
