Import Tips
• Conduct fiber analysis if blended processes suspected, ensuring no wool/hair remnants per chapter exclusions
• Photograph hides pre-shipment showing whole intact status to counter split claims at entry
• Partner with certified tanners; unverified crusting processes often lead to audits
