Import Tips
• Obtain certificates of origin proving wool source to qualify for preferential tariffs; test for superfine merino to avoid coarse hair reclassification
• Avoid pockets below waist or ribbed hems to stay out of 6205/6206 exclusions; inspect for left-over-right closure confirming men's designation
