Import Tips

• Verify man-made fiber content exceeds 70% for accurate classification; provide lab test reports if blended

• Include FDA registration and 510(k) clearance documentation for medical device claims to avoid delays

• Label with 'single-use' or 'disposable' warnings to prevent reclassification as reusable garments
