Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide layered construction breakdown (spunbond/meltblown ratios) to confirm nonwoven classification
• Ensure basis weight certification; small variances can shift between 5603.12.00 and adjacent weights
• Medical end-use claims require FDA registration support, separate from HTS classification
