Import Tips
• Verify seamless construction and medical certification (e.g
• FDA 510(k)) to qualify under surgical/medical subheading; knitted gloves shift to alternatives
• Provide detailed polymer composition documentation showing nitrile >95% to meet subheading note (a)(1); test certificates prevent reclassification
