Import Tips
• Obtain lab test reports verifying exact fiber composition (≥36% wool) and weight ≤200 g/m² to confirm classification and avoid reclassification to pure cotton headings
• Include commercial invoice detailing unbleached state, weave type, and yarn number per US note formulas; ensure no bleaching agents in production process
