Import Tips
• Conduct fiber analysis on entire garment (shell + lining) to meet wool threshold; partial blends often trigger audits
• Include HTS statistical annotations (459) on entry docs for wool content reporting to CBP
• Differentiate from orthopedic apparel (9021 exclusion); sports vests must lack medical claims
