Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify baby garment size does not exceed 86 cm body height per Chapter 62 notes to qualify under heading 6209

• Provide lab test reports confirming 100% artificial fibers like polyester or rayon to avoid reclassification

• Ensure labeling includes fiber content and care instructions; common pitfall is missing country of origin marks
