Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 50% and obtain a laboratory test report for fiber composition to meet Chapter 57 requirements
• Include detailed invoices specifying 'needlepoint' construction and dimensions to avoid misclassification as knotted carpets
• Ensure labeling indicates country of origin and care instructions, as needlepoint items often require dry cleaning
