Import Tips
• Provide care label with exact fiber percentages and country of origin to meet U.S. labeling laws for wool blends
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring as 100% synthetic; wool content requires specific documentation
• Ensure no drawstrings or ribbed waistbands, as these could shift classification under Chapter 61 notes
