Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% wool or fine animal hair via lab tests to confirm classification under 5801.10
• Provide weave diagrams or samples showing cut pile construction to avoid misclassification as flat woven wool fabric
• Declare width over 30 cm to prevent reclassification as narrow woven fabrics under heading 5806
