If made up but not knitted or crocheted

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify compression levels meet FDA Class I or II medical device standards and include proper labeling for graduated pressure (e.g
• 15-20 mmHg)
• Provide fiber content documentation confirming synthetic composition over 50% (e.g
• nylon/spandex) to avoid reclassification
• Avoid common pitfalls like missing country-of-origin marks or undeclared silicone grips, which can trigger CBP holds
