Import Tips
• Verify exact wool content via lab testing as it must exceed 36% by weight for this classification; mislabeling leads to reclassification
• Provide mill certificates confirming combed cotton processing and unbleached state to avoid disputes over finishing
• Note quantitative restrictions on certain cotton inputs; ensure origin documentation complies with U.S. notes for Chapter 52
