Import Tips
• Verify FDA 510(k) clearance or exemption status; most exam gloves require registration as Class I devices
• Ensure labeling complies with 21 CFR 801 for medical devices, including lot numbers and sterile claims if applicable
• Avoid misclassification as industrial gloves; provide evidence of medical end-use like packaging or buyer contracts
