Import Tips
• Confirm the merino wool content is above 50% by weight to ensure classification under this heading
• Ensure the fabric is not 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, such as being cut to size with heat-sealed edges
• Keep documentation of the combing process and dyeing to support the classification
