Import Tips
• Document fiber content precisely (wool >50%, elastomeric present) and water resistance specs to meet US Customs fiber rules
• Avoid pitfall of ensemble classification—ship as individual items, not sets with jackets, per Chapter notes on ensembles
• Include country-of-origin certificates for fine animal hair; test weight on actual dozens to confirm >9 kg
