Import Tips
• Document lace and trimming as integral decorative features, not separate components, to avoid disassembly claims by customs
• Include washing instructions and care labels meeting ASTM standards; pitfall is missing flammability test certs for bedding
• Declare exact embroidery thread composition if synthetic to prevent fiber content disputes
