Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm at least 36% wool, as declarations must match exactly to avoid penalties

Include detailed invoices specifying wool percentage and artificial fiber type (e.g

viscose, acetate) for CBP review

Watch for common pitfalls like classifying as 100% artificial if wool is understated, leading to wrong duty rates
