Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 36%+ wool, as under-declaration risks reclassification to lower wool headings
• Include mill certificates proving combed processing and staple fiber composition for customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 100% wool; precise blend ratios are audited under Chapter 55 notes
