Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide detailed weave analysis and yarn color documentation to distinguish from pure cotton fabrics under 5212.14
• Check for certified hand-loomed status if applicable, which may affect quotas under Chapter 52 notes
