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
