Import Tips
• Verify wool content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% by weight, as required for this subheading; provide certificates for CBP verification
• Label garments clearly with fiber content, country of origin, and care instructions to comply with FTC and CBP textile rules
• Avoid classifying as a full ski-suit (6211.42); single vests are 'other garments'; watch for ensemble packaging pitfalls
