Import Tips
• Label rolls with exact wool percentage and staple fiber type; customs may require AATCC test methods for verification
• Declare as 'other' to distinguish from sheeting or printcloth based on statistical notes for weave density and weight
• Avoid bulk packaging without origin labels, as mixed fibers trigger country-of-origin rules under non-preferential regimes
