Import Tips
• Verify fiber content is primarily man-made (e.g
• polyester >50%) with lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton headings
• Label as 'for babies' with age/size indicators (e.g
• 0-12 months) and include care instructions per textile regulations
• Avoid braid trims; document construction method to confirm 'made up from textile fabric' not woven shapes
