Import Tips
• Verify child height limit under 86 cm and label fiber content accurately per FTC rules to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'not knitted/crocheted' and baby-specific design to confirm Chapter 62 applicability
• Watch for quota restrictions on certain synthetics; common pitfall is misdeclaring as adult outerwear
