Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm wool exceeds 50% for main classification; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide mill certificates documenting yarn count, twist, and blend ratios to avoid customs holds
• Ensure not packaged for retail (e.g
• no consumer labels) to prevent shift to Chapter 55 retail yarn headings
