Import Tips

• Verify polymer composition meets 95% NBR content per subheading notes to avoid reclassification to copolymer 'Other' subheadings

• Include lab test reports certifying seamless construction and non-surgical use; common pitfall is mislabeling as latex

• Ensure FDA compliance for medical/food contact gloves with proper documentation to prevent customs holds
