Import Tips
• Label origin of wool accurately; blends under 50% wool reclassify to synthetic or other fiber subheadings
• Avoid underlays or padding attachments, as they exclude from Chapter 57 per notes
• Declare exact pile type (Wilton/Brussels) in entry docs to prevent shifts to broader pile categories
