Import Tips
• Verify baby height limit (≤86 cm) with measurements and labeling to confirm 6209 classification over adult garments
• Provide detailed fiber content certificates showing ≥70% synthetic fibers to avoid reclassification to cotton blends
• Avoid common pitfalls like missing country-of-origin markings, which can delay clearance for infant apparel
