Import Tips

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

Provide detailed invoices specifying ensemble components, fabric composition, and retail packaging to avoid separation into individual garments

Check for left-over-right closure if unisex design; defaults to women's classification per chapter notes
