Import Tips
• Verify water resistance via AATCC 22 or ISO 4920 tests and retain lab reports for CBP review
• Confirm fiber content shows elastomeric fiber ≥3% and wool dominance; label accurately to avoid reclassification
• Weigh sample dozens precisely; common pitfall is underestimating weight due to moisture absorption in wool
