Import Tips
• Include manufacturer specs and compression gradient charts in documentation to prove medical classification
• Declare exact yarn composition; synthetics like spandex/nylon qualify as 'other textile materials'
• Watch for CBP scrutiny on compression claims; counterfeit medical labels can lead to penalties
