Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'adult incontinence' to distinguish from baby diapers and comply with FDA medical device regs if applicable
• Maintain supplier affidavits confirming plastic content to defend against reclassification during CBP exams
• Check for quota restrictions on disposable hygiene imports and file proper entry summaries
