Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% textile to avoid reclassification to plastic-based diapers; provide lab tests for knitted fabric proof
• Label as 'disposable diaper' not 'underwear' to prevent apparel misclassification
• Watch for country-of-origin rules favoring certain textile producers
