Import Tips
• Include detailed weave diagrams and yarn specs in entry docs to confirm 'other woven' status excluding poplin/sateen
• Comply with wool labeling laws (FTC rules); misdeclared blends can incur penalties up to 3x duties
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as Chapter 52 cotton blends if artificial content dominates visually
