Import Tips
• Conduct value audits per gross (144 units) using commercial invoices to confirm eligibility within the $0.80-$1.35 range
• Provide FDA compliance if any colorants could contact food-related laundry, though primarily for general use
• Avoid bulk packaging that might suggest industrial use, maintaining retail presentation for correct classification
