Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% wool or fine animal hair via lab tests for accurate classification under 6107.99.20.00

• Include commercial invoices specifying knitted construction and men's sizing to avoid reclassification to woven garments in Chapter 62

• Check for restricted animal hair sources (e.g

• cashmere) and obtain CITES permits if applicable to prevent customs delays
