Import Tips
• Obtain mill certificates proving fine animal hair origin to support duty rate under wool headings
• Label garments clearly as 'men's' with size charts matching US standards to prevent reclassification
• Check for padded elements; if sleeveless and heavily padded, confirm not treated as vest under other subheadings
