Import Tips
• Provide bleaching process documentation to distinguish from dyed fabrics in other subheadings
• Ensure HTS declaration matches 'combed' status; unraveled samples may be requested for verification
• Watch for pitfalls in animal hair identification—merino must be lab-tested for fine hair compliance
