Import Tips & Compliance

Verify baby garment size does not exceed 86 cm body height per Chapter Note to ensure classification in 6209

Provide lab tests confirming synthetic fiber content over 70% for man-made fiber classification; avoid blends pushing to cotton headings

Label clearly as 'babies' shorts' and exclude any set packaging to prevent reclassification as ensemble parts
