Import Tips

• Verify fiber content exceeds 50% wool via lab testing to confirm classification under wool subheading; synthetic blends may shift to other textile materials

• Ensure no drawstrings, ribbed waistbands, or tightening at the bottom, as per heading 6109 notes, to avoid reclassification

• Label as 'underwear' with care instructions per FTC rules; provide country-of-origin documentation for GSP eligibility on wool imports
