Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide weave structure documentation and weight certificates, ensuring post-sizing weight exceeds 200 g/m² per US note formulas
• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete dyeing uniformity proofs; include mill test reports for Customs scrutiny
