Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 36%+ wool, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Include mill certificates proving combed finish and unbleached status for customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as synthetic-only, which shifts to lower wool subheadings
