Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds threshold for restraint (446) via lab tests; provide certificates of origin to track quotas
• Label fiber composition accurately per FTC rules; ensembles must be presented as sets for retail sale
• Avoid misclassification as separate garments; common pitfall is splitting components leading to higher duties
