Import Tips
• Verify exact wool content via lab testing; must exceed 36% by weight for this subheading, with documentation from supplier
• Provide bleaching process certification to confirm 'bleached' status and avoid reclassification to unbleached fabrics
• Watch for quantitative restrictions on cotton imports; ensure origin qualifies under US notes for Chapter 52
