Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is 100% man-made (e.g
• polypropylene) via lab testing to avoid reclassification to natural fiber headings
• Ensure assembly method is plaiting or strip assembly without sewing; provide manufacturing process documentation
• Label as 'not for children under 3' if applicable to prevent toy hat misclassification under Chapter 95
