Import Tips

• Verify infant sizing (under 24 months per statistical note 2) and measure upper's external surface area to confirm vegetable fiber dominance (>50%)

• Provide fiber content labels and invoices specifying 'vegetable fibers' like cotton; common pitfall is misclassifying synthetic blends

• Ensure no sports features (e.g

• cleats); declare accurately to avoid reclassification to higher-duty codes
