Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'Christmas trees' with festive imagery to distinguish from general decor and prevent misclassification
• Provide material breakdown (e.g
• PVC, PE) on packing lists to comply with fiber/plastic content declarations
• Avoid bundling with non-festive ornaments, as sets may require separate classification under GRI rules
