Import Tips & Compliance

• Verify fiber content with lab tests to confirm 'fine animal hair' (e.g

• merino wool) and ensure length ≤3m via measurement certificates

• Provide country-of-origin documentation; wool from Australia/New Zealand may qualify for preferential duties under FTAs

• Avoid misclassification as bed linen (6302) by emphasizing 'blanket' use; include care labels per textile regulations
