Import Tips
• Verify compression levels (e.g
• 15-20 mmHg) and include medical device documentation if marketed for varicose veins
• Label artificial fiber content accurately per FTC rules to prevent misclassification as synthetic (Chapter 61 note)
• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete country-of-origin certificates for anti-dumping scrutiny on hosiery
