Apparel & Household Goods – Wool

Wool-based apparel and household goods — including suits, coats, blankets, and upholstery fabrics — occupy a distinct niche in US import trade, with duty structures that differ meaningfully from cotton or synthetic equivalents. Wool textile and apparel lines are generally subject to ad valorem or compound duties under the HTS, and some specialty wool articles benefit from tariff-rate quota treatment. The fiber content threshold that triggers classification as 'wool' rather than a blended or synthetic article is a frequent classification dispute, making precise laboratory testing of fiber composition a practical necessity for importers.
