Import Tips
• Include FDA compliance documentation if for medical use, as ramie gauze may require additional health/safety certifications
• Test for purity; ramie blends with >50% other fibers could reclassify under different material headings
• Specify 'gauze weave' in entry docs to differentiate from cheesecloth or plain open weaves
