Import Tips

• Document the exact wool percentage with supplier affidavits or test reports to substantiate the 23% threshold

• Classify based on predominant fiber (man-made) but note wool content; avoid pitfalls by not overstating wool to trigger higher-duty wool headings

• For girls' items, confirm sizing aligns with women's/girls' closure (right over left) per chapter notes
