Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab test to confirm ≥36% wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties

• Include detailed invoices specifying synthetic base with wool percentage and ensure 'men's shorts' labeling for left-over-right closure

• Avoid shipping with swimwear features like elastic leg openings to prevent shift to Chapter 62 swimwear headings
