Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 50% fine animal hair via lab testing for accurate Chapter 57 classification and duty rates
• Provide certificates of origin and artisan affidavits proving hand-hooking process to avoid machine-tufted misclassification
• Label rugs clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to comply with FTC textile rules and prevent CBP holds
