Import Tips
• Verify exact wool content via lab testing as it must be ≥36% by weight for this subheading; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide mill test certificates confirming weight ≤200 g/m² and dyed plain (no prints) to avoid shifts to other subheadings
• Be aware of cotton quota limitations on blend fabrics; ensure origin documentation complies with US note restrictions
