Import Tips
• Provide FTQ (fiber content) documentation proving man-made fibers dominate to stay in 9619.00.74.00
• Declare as 'sanitary napkins/diapers' on entry docs; vague descriptions lead to exam holds
• Separate shipments of adult vs infant sizes to avoid averaging duties if mixed fiber contents
