Import Tips

Verify wool content via lab testing to confirm 36%+ by weight, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification and penalties

Include detailed fiber composition labels and commercial invoices specifying HTS 6211.33.5052 for smooth CBP clearance

Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as pure man-made fiber garments, which shifts to lower-duty codes
