Import Tips
• 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
