Import Tips
• Verify wool content exceeds 50% via lab testing for accurate Chapter 65 classification and duty rates
• Include detailed fabric construction invoices to prove 'made up from felt' status, avoiding reclassification to hat shapes
• Label with country of origin and fiber content per FTC rules to prevent CBP holds at entry
