Import Tips

• Verify wool content exceeds 50% with lab tests; mislabeling leads to reclassification under cotton or synthetic headings

• Include detailed fabric breakdown in commercial invoice; U.S

• Customs requires proof of wool/plastics blend

• Avoid common pitfall of importing as 'costume wear'—declare as undergarment to prevent duty evasion penalties
