3 labels.
That’s all.
What each pillow needs before it can ship to the U.S.
Required

Big, thin bags need a warning line — quick and cheap.
Mandatory · can’t skip
On the pillow
A law label sewn into the seam — the one we can’t skip.

A box sticker doesn’t count.
First, two things to sort
1
A real registration number — ours is still a placeholder.
Cost: ~$750 for 2 years · California importer registration (+ ~$300–$600 for a filing service)
Time: ~4–6 weeks · California processing (a URN itself can come in ~1–2 weeks)
2
Sew the law label into stock we already have.
Cost: ~$0.05–$0.15 per label + ~$0.50–$1.50 each to sew in · near $0 on new production
Time: ~2–4 weeks · print labels + factory sew run
Both can run in parallel → realistically ~4–6 weeks to a first compliant shipment.
Rough estimates to plan around — we’ll confirm exact numbers with the registrar and factory.
