Import Tips & Compliance

• Measure all piping/edges precisely; even 7mm exceeds limit, risking duty hikes in other subheadings

• Include flammability test reports for cushions over 12 inches, per CPSC standards

• Label country of origin on fabric; common error is ignoring substantial transformation rules for stuffing
