• Verify fiber content is 100% cotton via lab tests to avoid reclassification under man-made fiber headings
• Include baby size specifications (e.g
• head circumference <50cm) in invoices to confirm 'for babies' status
• Ensure no toy-like features to prevent exclusion under Chapter 95 carnival articles
