Import Tips

• Verify water resistance via AATCC or ISO tests and retain lab reports for CBP review to avoid reclassification

• Label fiber content accurately, disclosing wool percentage and elastomeric fiber, as per FTC rules

• Weigh sample dozens to confirm >6 kg threshold; common pitfall is underestimating due to dense wool
