Import Tips & Compliance
• Require supplier specs on fiber length (<5 mm) and density to confirm flock/wadding status vs. yarn (Chapters 50-55)
• For hygiene end-use, prepare FDA or EPA registrations early; mislabeling as medical leads to quarantines
• Avoid bulk flock shipments; 'in the piece' requires coherent sheets, not loose dust
