Import Tips
• Verify composition via lab tests to confirm cellulose wadding or paper pulp content, as synthetic blends may shift to Chapter 63
• Ensure labeling specifies 'disposable sanitary use' to avoid reclassification as mere bedding under heading 4823
• Provide hospital end-use certificates if marketed for medical settings to support sanitary purpose claims
