Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of origin for fine animal hair content to qualify for potential duty preferences under trade agreements
• Label precisely with fiber percentages; blends under 50% wool may shift to other subheadings
• Avoid bulk packaging; ensembles must be retail-ready to prevent separate classification
