Import Tips

• Verify fabric is 100% man-made fibers like polyester or nylon via lab testing to avoid reclassification to cotton headings

• Label products clearly as 'for babies' with age/weight indicators (e.g

• 0-6 months) to meet the 'for babies' subheading criteria

• Ensure no braid components are used, as braided items shift to other subheadings; document knitting process for CBP review
