Import Tips

• Verify plastic/rubber content exceeds 50% by weight via lab testing to confirm classification; retain certificates for CBP review

• Ensure labeling indicates material composition and country of origin; common pitfall is misdeclaring as textile-only gloves

• Provide detailed invoices specifying 'without fourchettes' and pre-woven fabric source to avoid reclassification
