Import Tips & Compliance

• Conduct fiber burn tests for customs; polyester melts without ash, confirming man-made status

• Avoid trimming with natural materials to prevent blend reclassification; use only synthetic ribbons if any

• Declare as 'baby headgear' on entry docs with size specs to secure the 239 subheading rate
