Wool Blend Corset from Mexico

A structured undergarment made primarily from wool fabric blended with plastic fibers for shaping and support, designed to cinch the waist and enhance silhouette. It falls under HTS 6212.90.00.20 as a corset of wool or wool and plastics, not knitted or crocheted, providing compression without elastic bands below the waist. This classification applies due to its wool-dominant composition and brassiere-like supportive function.

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
