Notes for baby products
- Baby carriers and cots have dedicated EN standards and require notified body involvement in some cases.
- Textile components follow fibre labelling rules.
These are planning figures, not a binding tariff ruling. Origin-based measures (anti-dumping, preferential rates) can change the result.
