Import Tips
• Verify fiber content exceeds 70% wool via lab tests for accurate classification under fine animal hair
• Include commercial invoices detailing HTS code, country of origin, and yarn construction to avoid reclassification
• Watch for common pitfalls like mislabeling as cotton blends, which shifts to Chapter 61 man-made fiber headings
