Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber composition via lab tests to confirm 36%+ wool content, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Provide weave analysis and weight certification (under 200 g/m²) in documentation to avoid delays
• Ensure printing is considered a finishing process; plain dyed versions fall under different subheadings
