Import Tips
• Provide fiber blend percentages certified by third-party labs to avoid disputes over fine hair content
• Declare as 'other' only after confirming not predominantly wool (5701.10); use NY rulings for guidance
• Protect against moth damage claims with proper quarantine certificates if from high-risk countries
