Import Tips
• Verify wool or fine animal hair content exceeds 50% via lab testing for accurate classification under 5802.30
• Provide mill certificates documenting yarn composition to avoid reclassification to man-made fiber headings
• Declare as tufted fabric, not carpet, with photos proving it's not for floor covering to prevent duty hikes
