Import Tips
• Document elastane percentage; over 50% man-made fiber may require different statistical suffixes
• Ensure packaging labels it as 'shapewear' not apparel to avoid Chapter 62 garment headings
• Prepare for FDA scrutiny if marketed for medical compression, potentially invoking Chapter 90
