• Label products clearly as 'infant napkins' to differentiate from adult versions and prevent reclassification
• Obtain Certificates of Analysis confirming paper pulp as primary material for customs verification
• Bundle in consumer packaging to qualify as finished sanitary articles; bulk shipments risk different headings
