Import Tips
• Verify exact wool content via lab testing as required for Chapter 54 blends exceeding 36% to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed weave specifications and yarn composition certificates to confirm synthetic filament base
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; printed patterns increase value assessments during customs valuation
