Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm polyester >50% with wool mix, as required for 5515 classification

Provide weave analysis (ends/picks per cm, yarn number) to distinguish from poplin exclusions in statistical notes

Avoid misdeclaration as 100% wool (5112) by including staple fiber invoices; common pitfall leads to audits
