Masks Types

A lot of customers are looking for masks during this Pandemic. Before you source for the masks, please make sure you understand what kind of mask you need.

We have the situation is that the client want general masks (not medical grade), but he/she requires CE/FDA printed on the package. To be clear, this is against the rule of China Customs. The goods will be fined and rejected. ONLY real CE or FDA medical masks are allowed to have such print on the package. It is a very strict policy right now. To avoid any loss, please be honest to declare your goods. 

When the end consumers receive the masks, they claim Chinese masks do not meet their country’s standard. It is not because the masks do not meet the standard, however, it is because the buyer misguide the end customers. Some buyers do not have enough knowledge in masks’ industry. They source non-medical masks, but they present them as medical masks.

There are a lot of standards that can confuse you. 

A quick summary for you reference.

DON’T think all KN95 are medical grade. That is misguided information.
