Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain certificates of origin for latex sourcing, as natural rubber duties may vary by country under trade agreements
• Label clearly as 'swim cap' not 'hat' to prevent confusion with general headgear in 6505
• Watch for allergen warnings on packaging; non-compliance leads to FDA holds at entry
