Import Tips

• Document the full ensemble packaging and matching components to prevent reclassification as individual shorts

• Conduct fiber testing if blends approach wool limits; declare accurately to avoid penalties under man-made fiber quotas

• Avoid pitfalls like missing country-of-origin labels; category 648 requires specific visas for certain exporters
