Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify pharmaceutical content documentation from manufacturer to confirm coating meets 'pharmaceutical substance' criteria under Chapter 30 notes
• Include certificates of sterility and FDA equivalence for clearance; common pitfall is misclassifying as simple textile under Chapter 30 exclusions
• Label packs clearly for retail medical use to avoid reclassification as bulk wadding
