Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm 36%+ wool, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties under CBP fiber content rules

• Include detailed invoices specifying weight percentages and yarn construction to avoid reclassification during examination

• Ensure labeling complies with FTC Care Labeling Rule and country-of-origin marking for textiles
