Import Tips
• Classify as lifejacket based on flotation function, not pet accessory—include buoyancy specs in technical documentation
• Size labeling (XS-XXL by chest girth) prevents classification disputes with human apparel sizes
• Separate pet lifejackets from general pet textile bedding to maintain safety article status
