Import Tips
• Conduct fiber burn tests for customs; blends near 36% wool threshold require precise lab reports
• Declare average yarn number using Chapter 52 formulas (e.g
• BYT/1,000) to confirm classification
• Watch for anti-dumping duties on certain wool blends; check country of origin against HTS exclusions
