Import Tips & Compliance

• Obtain third-party fiber analysis reports to substantiate wool percentage claims during customs valuation

• Declare as 'other hosiery' on entry forms, specifying synthetic base with wool blend to match statistical suffix (432)

• Watch for seasonal duty changes; quota restrictions may apply to wool-containing apparel
