Import Tips
• Verify compression levels (e.g
• 15-20 mmHg) and material composition via lab tests for accurate HTS classification
• Include medical device documentation if marketed for varicose veins to avoid reclassification
• Label fiber content precisely as synthetics to prevent shifts to cotton or wool subheadings
