Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 36% by weight via lab testing; provide certificates for customs scrutiny
• Ensure fabric weight documentation shows ≤200 g/m²; common pitfall is mismeasurement due to moisture
• Declare as unbleached—any minimal processing like scouring could shift to 5212.12
