Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide mill certificates and dye lot details in documentation to prove dyed plain weave and weight under 200 g/m²
• Avoid common pitfalls like incorrect weight measurement; test after removing sizing per Chapter 52 US notes
