Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds threshold for restraints (445); provide lab test certificates for fiber composition to CBP
• Label garments with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions per FTC rules to avoid detention
• Monitor quota availability via OTEXA; common pitfall is misclassifying high wool blends as pure synthetics
