Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab tests to confirm wool meets or exceeds 36% by weight, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Include detailed composition labels and invoices specifying man-made base with wool blend for CBP compliance
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as 100% man-made, which shifts to lower wool subheadings
