Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the garment is made primarily from paper pulp, cellulose wadding, or non-woven cellulose fibers to avoid reclassification as textile apparel
• Include lab test reports confirming fiber composition and sanitary use; common pitfall is insufficient documentation leading to higher duties
• Label products clearly as disposable sanitary wear to meet FDA import requirements for hospital use
