Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm wool exceeds 23% by weight, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties

• Label garments clearly with fiber composition, care instructions, and country of origin per FTC and CBP requirements

• Avoid pockets below the waist or ribbed waistbands to prevent exclusion from heading 6106 per chapter notes
