Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm wool exceeds threshold for 'mixed mainly with wool'; discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Include dyeing process certification and yarn composition invoices to avoid customs disputes on 'dyed' status
• Ensure fabric width and weight specs match declarations, as statistical notes scrutinize weave and construction
