Import Tips

• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool/fine animal hair and artificial fiber base for accurate HTS classification

• Include detailed care labels specifying material composition and country of origin to meet US FTC and CBP requirements

• Avoid misclassification as swimwear or casual shorts by documenting recreational performance features like abrasion resistance
