Import Tips
• Document fiber composition with supplier invoices and test reports; customs may require AATCC testing for wool percentage
• Classify as men's via anatomical fit and closure style; avoid unisex labeling to prevent default to women's headings
• Check for prohibited azo dyes in wool blends; common pitfall is undervaluation of padded insulation materials
