Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is primarily man-made with braid component via lab testing to confirm classification
• Include baby size specifications (e.g
• head circumference under 42cm) in documentation to qualify for 'for babies' subheading
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as toy headgear, which shifts to Chapter 95
