Import Tips

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
