Import Tips
• Document swim-specific features like drainage holes or mesh pockets to distinguish from apparel shorts during customs review
• Ensure compliance with children's sleepwear standards if any flammability treatments are applied, even for swimwear
• Batch test for colorfastness in chlorine water to prevent rejections under import quality controls
