Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 50% for accurate classification under wool headings; blends may shift to man-made fiber subheadings
• Provide detailed fabric composition certificates to avoid misclassification as fine animal hair or other fibers
• Label garments clearly for right-over-left closure if applicable, per chapter notes on gender classification
