If made from latex natural rubber
Natural rubber surgical gloves classify under the latex subcategory, distinct from synthetic nitrile.
If not specifically for surgical procedures but general medical use

If knitted or crocheted with rubber coating

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain FDA 510(k) clearance and ensure gloves are listed in the FDA device database before import
• Provide sterilization method certificates (e.g
• gamma irradiation) and biocompatibility test results
• Avoid misclassification by confirming medical/surgical end-use; industrial gloves go elsewhere
