Import Tips
• Submit mill certificates or lab reports proving wool content to justify the 6505.00.60.40 rate over lower-wool categories
• Ensure no lace or felt construction, as those shift to other 6505 subheadings
• Avoid selling as 'toy hats' or carnival items to prevent Chapter 95 reclassification
