Bamboo Fiber Disposable Diapers from China

These disposable diapers are made primarily from bamboo-derived textile fibers, offering high absorbency and softness for infants. They fall under HTS 9619.00.48.00 as diapers of other textile fibers (not cotton, wool, or man-made), designed for sanitary use in absorbing bodily waste. The 'other' subheading applies since they are neither knitted nor primarily of man-made fibers.

Import Tips

Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm 'other textile fibers' like bamboo, as mislabeling as man-made staples could shift to 9619.00.45.00

Include FDA or equivalent sanitary certifications and child safety documentation to meet U.S. import standards for baby products

Watch for common pitfalls like incomplete COO declarations, which delay clearance for disposable hygiene articles
