Import Tips
• 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
