Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm at least 23% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties

• Include detailed commercial invoices specifying knitted construction and exact material breakdown to avoid reclassification

• Check for right-over-left closure typical for women's garments; document retail packaging if sold individually
