Import Tips
• Label fiber percentages accurately on packaging; wool content requires origin certification for preferential duties
• Avoid common pitfall of classifying as 100% synthetic—always document wool blend via test reports
• Check for restricted azo dyes in printing, as EU REACH compliance often applies to wool blends
