Import Tips
• Document flock as the essential character with photos and specs; stems should not dominate classification
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics industrial wipers, which could shift to 5603 nonwovens
• Comply with cosmetic import regs like FDA labeling if for facial use, separate from tariff classification
