Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm at least 36% wool or fine animal hair by weight, as required for this classification
• Provide dyeing certificates and yarn composition invoices to avoid reclassification during customs examination
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; blended wool fabrics often trigger higher scrutiny on declared values
