Import Tips
• Verify compression levels via lab testing and include medical certification to confirm graduated compression feature
• Label fiber content accurately as nylon/elastane; nylon counts as 'other textile materials' excluding cotton/wool
• Avoid misclassification as regular pantyhose (6115.95); provide invoices specifying therapeutic use
