Import Tips
• Verify construction meets corset definition with boning or rigid support; provide detailed construction diagrams if challenged
• Label fiber content accurately per FTC rules; common pitfall is under-declaring synthetic blends over 50%
• Ensure not classified as orthopedic (9021) by confirming non-medical use; retain supplier specs
