Import Tips
• Document animal hair origin and percentage with certificates; cashmere/wool blends require precise testing
• Label as 'boys'' based on sizing for height under adult thresholds; declare closure type per Chapter notes
• Check for ensemble packaging; separate vests avoid ski ensemble rules but confirm no retail set presentation
