Import Tips & Compliance

Provide detailed fiber content breakdown (e.g

60% polyester staple, 40% wool) via lab test certificates to verify 'mixed mainly with wool'

Confirm combing process documentation as statistical suffix (624) requires proof of combed yarns

Avoid misclassification as pure wool by ensuring polyester staple dominates the staple fiber component
