Import Tips

• Include height measurements to confirm 'girls'' sizing; garments for children over typical age may reclassify

• Obtain wool origin certificates; merino from Australia/New Zealand often qualifies for preferential tariffs

• Avoid bulk packaging; retail presentation prevents classification as unfinished goods
