Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm >50% cotton with wool mix for 5212 classification; mislabeling leads to reclassification
• Include bleaching certification and weight documentation (under 200 g/m²) in entry papers to avoid CBP scrutiny
• Check for quota restrictions on wool components and ensure origin certificates for blended textiles
