Import Tips
• Document that the sponge's cleaning action relies on the surface-active agent, not just abrasion, to support classification under 3402.50.90
• Ensure the product is labeled for retail sale and include the surfactant composition in the import documentation
• Note that abrasive products in bar form would fall under heading 3401, so confirm the sponge format
