Import Tips

• Verify 100% wool or fine animal hair content via lab tests to confirm classification under wool heading; blends over 20% man-made fiber shift to 5702.59

• Provide certificates of origin for handwoven claims, as GSP or preferential tariffs may apply for developing countries

• Ensure pieces are not 'made up' (e.g

• no finished edges or hems) to avoid reclassification to 5702.50.90; common pitfall with pre-trimmed rugs
