Import Tips

Verify wool yarn fiber diameter certification (≤18.5 microns) with lab tests to confirm 'fine animal hair' classification and avoid reclassification to coarser wool codes

Ensure invoices specify 'suit-type jacket' vs. blazer, including panel count and matching fabric details per Chapter 62 suit notes

Label fiber content accurately (e.g

100% wool) and retain mill certificates to prevent common pitfalls like misdeclaration as synthetic blends
