Import Tips
• Include fiber content declaration showing >50% cellulose pulp to stay in chapter 48; higher plastic content risks reclassification
• Avoid 'dust protection' claims that could trigger NIOSH approval needs for industrial respirators
• Package in retail units under 36cm width equivalent to align with household sanitary roll limitations
