Import Tips
• Test for FDA-compliant materials if marketed for medical/safety eyewear to meet health regulations
• Label shipments clearly as 'replacement eyewear parts' to avoid confusion with general rubber goods
• Monitor for minimum order quantities that might imply industrial rather than eyewear use
