Import Tips
• Obtain lab test reports verifying exact wool content (≥36%) and fiber composition to meet HTS criteria and avoid reclassification
• Provide certificates of origin and weight documentation (g/m² >200) as customs often scrutinizes blends for quantitative restrictions
• Label rolls with fiber content per FTC rules; common pitfall is under-declaring wool leading to penalties
