Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 23%+ wool, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Provide detailed yarn composition invoices; wool content must be by weight in the finished garment
• Avoid common pitfalls like incomplete HTS subheading specification; use 6103.43.1020 precisely for shorts
