Import Tips

• Verify wool content exceeds 50% via lab testing for accurate classification under wool subheading; blends may shift to synthetic codes

• Ensure no drawstring, ribbed waistband, or tightening at bottom, as per heading 6109 note, or it reclassifies elsewhere

• Label as 'underwear' clearly and provide fiber content disclosure to comply with FTC and CBP textile regulations
