Import Tips
• Ensure the scrubs are classified as articles of apparel of paper pulp, not as medical devices, to avoid heading 90.18
• Verify the goods are not coated with plastics exceeding half the total thickness, which would shift classification to Chapter 39
• Keep commercial invoices describing the fibre composition and intended hospital use
