Import Tips
• Size documentation must match girls' sizing (under women's proportions); mislabeling as adult can trigger reclassification
• Provide evidence of 'recreational performance' via tech specs to CBP, avoiding pitfalls of general apparel scrutiny
• Check for quotas on man-made fibers; obtain necessary visas or licenses pre-shipment
