Import Tips
• Verify vulcanized rubber composition via lab testing to confirm classification under Chapter 40, avoiding reclassification to pharmaceutical articles
• Include sterilization certificates and medical device registration (if applicable) in documentation to meet FDA import requirements for contraceptives
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 'toys' which could shift to Chapter 95; ensure packaging clearly states contraceptive use
