Import Tips
• Document intended industrial use separately from consumer gloves to avoid retail packaging scrutiny
• Label fiber content precisely; blends under 50% cotton may reclassify to man-made fiber headings
• Avoid bulk packaging that mimics consumer sets, as it could trigger ensemble rules inapplicable here
