Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide bleaching process documentation and weight certificates to prove <200 g/m² compliance
• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect declarations by specifying 'other woven' not plain weave
