Import Tips

• Conduct surface area measurements during pre-import audits to confirm wool felt dominance and avoid disputes

• Use HTS-specific invoices noting 'men's wool felt uppers and soles' to expedite customs processing

• Avoid blending with plastics visible to the naked eye, as Note 2(a) includes such textiles under plastics headings
