Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm ≥36% wool; declarations must match or face penalties
• Provide detailed invoices specifying wool percentage and artificial fiber type for CBP review
• Avoid misclassification as pure wool (6204.59) by documenting blend composition accurately
