Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥23% wool or fine animal hair against synthetic fibers for accurate classification
• Include detailed invoices specifying knitted construction, wool percentage, and exclusion of swimwear features
• Avoid misclassification as woven by providing knit stitch pattern documentation; common pitfall is overlooking wool blend threshold
