Import Tips

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

• Include detailed invoices specifying girls' sizing (442 statistical suffix) and artificial fiber base with wool blend

• Avoid common pitfalls like classifying as women's if cut is clearly for girls under 15 years; check closure direction per Chapter 62 notes
