Import Tips
• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm at least 36% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties
• Include detailed invoices specifying synthetic base material, wool percentage, and performance features like water resistance for customs clearance
• Avoid common pitfalls by ensuring garments lack swimwear elements and are not presented as suits or ensembles
