Import Tips
• Include cosmetic ingredient breakdown and safety data sheets to confirm compliance with FDA import requirements
• Test for bleaching certification to prevent reclassification as raw wax under heading 1521
• Avoid retail packaging; bulk forms maintain 3404 classification over finished cosmetics
