Import Tips
• Include supplier certifications for merino wool origin and exact blend ratios to meet HTS fiber requirements
• Measure fabric weight post-scouring to ensure under 200 g/m², as sizing affects declared values
• Label as 'bleached' only if optically brightened; otherwise, it may classify as unbleached
