Import Tips

• Verify retail packaging meets 'individual retail packages' criteria to avoid reclassification to bulk yarn under different headings

• Include material safety data sheets (MSDS) for floss coatings like PTFE or wax to comply with FDA import requirements

• Label products with country of origin and dental floss usage instructions to prevent CBP holds at entry
