Import Tips

• Submit yarn analysis reports proving 100% man-made fibers and crocheted structure to prevent reclassification to paper-based liners

• Comply with CPSIA labeling for baby products; watch for pitfalls like undervaluing shipments of high-volume liner rolls

• Pair with commercial invoices detailing retail packaging to distinguish from industrial bulk under different quotas
