Import Tips
• Ensure retail packing under 1.36 kg (3 lbs) per unit to qualify as consumer goods and avoid bulk classifications
• Declare exact surfactant percentages if challenged, as synthetic detergents distinguish from soap-based HTS
• Register facility with FDA via VCRP for cosmetics to expedite import reviews and reduce detention risks
