Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 70% for fine animal hair classification and ensure accurate fiber labeling per FTC rules
• Provide documentation proving recreational performance use, such as performance fabric specs, to avoid reclassification
• Confirm left-over-right front closure to classify as men's; inspect for gender-specific cut
