Specifics about what details are required would be a lot more helpful than examples.
“For example, “men’s cotton dress shirts” is acceptable; “shirts” is not. “Children’s toy doll” would be acceptable; “gift” or “toy” would not.””
That’s very helpful if I’m sending “men’s cotton dress shirts” or a “children’s toy doll,” but pretty useless for anything else.
Based on the first example, it would seem the material is required, but not based on the second example. Men’s or children’s? Am I to assume this means I must enter the target age demographic, and also the target gender demographic, but only gender for adults?
Like honestly, what is it they actually are requiring?
So glad I stopped shipping internationally years ago!
Damn socialists! Always wanting to tax poor people over trinkets.
