Import Tips
• Ensure FDA 510(k) clearance documentation for advanced wound dressings to prevent import detention
• Declare exact pharmaceutical coating composition; vague labels lead to reclassification as Chapter 56
• Use child-resistant retail packaging if containing active pharma to meet CPSC standards
