Import Tips
• Verify the knitted cotton content exceeds 50% by weight and provide lab test reports for fiber composition to avoid reclassification
• Include child safety certifications like CPSIA compliance in documentation, as diapers are consumer products for infants
• Check for proper labeling of size, absorbency level, and disposal instructions to meet FDA and customs requirements
