Import Tips
• Verify exact fiber content via lab testing to confirm 36%+ wool, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide detailed weave analysis and weight certification (g/m²) in documentation to meet Chapter 52 US note requirements
• Avoid common pitfalls like insufficient printing process proof; include dye fastness tests for customs scrutiny
