Import Tips
• Document compression level (light/medium) doesn't qualify as medical; avoid orthopedic claims to prevent 9021 reclassification
• Include care labels in English/Spanish per FTC; batch test for flammability (16 CFR 1610)
• For multi-pack imports, declare as set if packaged for retail sale to maintain heading classification
