Import Tips
• Verify wool or fine animal hair content exceeds 50% via lab tests for accurate classification under 6215.90.00.10
• Include detailed fiber composition on invoices and labels to avoid reclassification to man-made fiber subheadings
• Watch for undervaluation pitfalls; provide retail packaging proof if sold as sets to prevent duty adjustments
