Import Tips
• Conduct fiber content analysis per US Note (a) for average yarn number and ensure weight certification under 200 g/m²
• Declare exact wool type (e.g
• merino) and percentage; pitfalls include mislabeling leading to Chapter 51 reclassification
• Check for certified hand-loomed status if applicable under heading 5208/5209 notes for potential duty relief
