Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥23% wool, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties under CBP rules
• Include detailed yarn composition and knitting specs in commercial invoice to avoid reclassification during entry
• Watch for informal entries under $800; ensure markings like 'Made in [Country]' are permanent and legible
