Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify child size/weight range labeling matches USCG standards (e.g
• 30-50 lbs) to avoid age-appropriate classification issues
• Include third-party test reports proving minimum buoyancy (22 lbs for child size) in import documentation
• Package individual lifejackets separately from bulk textiles to prevent grouping under heading 6307.90 as other articles
