Import Tips
• Declare exact percentages of wool and other fibers in shell and fill for accurate duty assessment; obtain certificates for restricted materials like wool
• Pitfall: Incorrectly claiming cotton shell—test for 'other' textile status
• Use detailed packing lists specifying bedding function
