Import Tips
• Verify the frame is predominantly metal (over 50% by weight) to avoid reclassification to wood frame subheadings
• Include lab tests certifying compliance with CPSC safety standards for infant products, including stability and tray locks
• Label with country of origin, age/weight limits, and fiber content of upholstery to meet FTC and customs requirements
