Import Tips
• Obtain third-party fiber analysis certificates to substantiate wool content claims during customs valuation
• Declare as 'recreational performance' with specs like water resistance to justify subheading; bulk packaging may shift classification
• Avoid common pitfall of incomplete bills of lading—include HTS details and garment closure type (left-over-right for men's)
