Import Tips

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

Include detailed invoices specifying exact wool percentage and synthetic fiber type for CBP review

Avoid classifying as pure wool if synthetic dominates to prevent reclassification under 6203.42
