Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm 36%+ wool or fine animal hair, as misdeclaration can lead to penalties

• Include detailed invoices specifying material composition, yarn construction, and country of origin for smooth customs clearance

• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as pure artificial fiber (6204.53) without wool test reports
