Import Tips

Verify fiber content exceeds 50% wool or fine animal hair via lab tests to confirm classification; declare accurately to avoid misclassification penalties

Include care labels specifying 'dry clean only' as required for wool garments; ensure origin documentation for preferential duty treatment

Check for prohibited substances like Azo dyes in wool processing; common pitfall is undervaluing performance features leading to audits
