Import Tips

Provide documentation proving medical use, such as manufacturer specs or end-user letters from hospitals, to justify the special classification

Ensure fiber content is at least 70% synthetic fibers per lab tests to avoid reclassification to cotton or blended categories

Label garments clearly as 'for hospital use' and avoid retail packaging that suggests general consumer wear
