Import Tips
• Verify fiber content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% wool or fine animal hair, as discrepancies can lead to reclassification
• Include detailed invoices specifying man-made fiber base, wool percentage, and absence of fourchettes for CBP review
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as knitted; ensure documentation proves woven construction
