Import Tips
• Obtain FDA 510(k) clearance if marketed as medical devices and include registration numbers on invoices
• Document yarn composition (e.g
• 80% nylon, 20% spandex) to confirm synthetic fiber eligibility
• Beware of size grading issues; mismatched compression profiles can lead to reclassification as regular hosiery
