The high wool content provides warmth and structure typical for fall fashion.

Import Tips

• Verify fiber content through lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool, as misdeclaration can lead to reclassification or penalties

• Include detailed invoices specifying wool percentage and synthetic base material; ensure 'Made in' labels comply with FTC rules

• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as pure wool (6204.53.10) if synthetics dominate; check for Chapter 62 exclusions like knitted items
