Import Tips
• Verify wool content via lab testing (ASTM D1909) as claims of 36%+ by weight must be substantiated to avoid reclassification
• Provide detailed set descriptions and photos showing identical fabric, color, and sizing to prove ensemble status per Chapter notes
• Label fiber content accurately under FTC rules; common pitfall is misdeclaring synthetic vs. wool ratios leading to penalties
