Import Tips

• Verify fiber content is at least 70% cotton via lab tests to confirm classification under 6208.21; blends over 50% man-made may shift to 6208.91

• Label garments clearly as 'girls' sleepwear' with size, country of origin, and care instructions per US FTC and CBP rules to prevent reclassification

• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as adult sizes; ensure height-appropriate sizing for girls' category to match statistical suffix 351
