Import Tips & Compliance

Verify fiber content is predominantly wool or fine animal hair via lab tests to confirm Chapter 62 classification and avoid reclassification to man-made fibers

Ensure labeling complies with FTC rules for country of origin and fiber content; declare as 'other garments' not swimwear to prevent duty misapplication
