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
