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
