Import Tips
• Verify wool content via lab testing (ASTM D1909) as claims over 36% by weight are required for this subheading; inaccurate labeling leads to reclassification
• Provide mill certificates detailing yarn composition and weave type to avoid delays at customs
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; blended fabrics often scrutinized for fiber content declarations
