Import Tips
• Verify wool fiber content exceeds 50% via lab tests for accurate classification under wool subheading
• Include baby size documentation (e.g
• head circumference under 42cm) to qualify for 'for babies' provision
• Avoid common pitfalls like mislabeling as man-made fibers, which shifts to 6505.00.90
