Import Tips
• Confirm child sizing and non-protective design; safety standards like CPSIA labeling required for US entry
• Measure upper surface area precisely—straps must dominate over any plastic bits per Chapter Note 4(a)
• Batch invoices by pair value to avoid averaging that could push over $3 threshold
