Import Tips
• Label as 'for denture cleaning' to differentiate from standard toothbrushes; common error is undervaluation due to low retail price
• Comply with FTC fiber content disclosure if bristles exceed synthetic thresholds
• Obtain prior notice via FDA for cosmetic imports, preventing detention at ports
