Import Tips
• Label products clearly as 'for menstrual use' to distinguish from incontinence items and maintain women's/girls' classification
• Conduct material breakdown analysis to document textile percentage, as blends near 50% risk scrutiny at customs
• Prepare for potential quotas on certain textile imports by monitoring WTO textile agreements and obtaining necessary visas
