Import Tips

• Verify knitted construction and man-made fiber composition (e.g

• >85% polyester) via lab tests to confirm HTS 9619.00.64.00 classification

• Include detailed fiber content labels and hygiene certifications; common pitfall is misclassifying non-knitted pads as woven under 9619.00.61

• Ensure FDA compliance for medical-grade absorbents; provide supplier affidavits for origin to avoid anti-dumping duties on Asian imports
