Import Tips

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool or fine animal hair, as this determines classification from lower wool subheadings

Label garments clearly with fiber composition and care instructions per FTC rules to avoid CBP scrutiny at entry

Ensure country-of-origin marking on trousers; common pitfall is incomplete documentation for performance features like waterproofing
