Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 36%+ wool/fine hair; discrepancies lead to reclassification
• Provide dyeing process certification and yarn count details to match statistical notes for woven fabrics
• Label origin clearly as blends may trigger additional textile visa requirements from exporting countries
