Import Tips
• Document cellulose wadding percentage to avoid reclassification to textile chapters; include material breakdown certificates
• Comply with FTC organic claims by providing certification; mislabeling leads to seizures
• Declare as 'similar articles' if reusable to distinguish from disposables
