Import Tips
• Submit cutting diagrams and yield reports proving parings exceed 15% waste threshold for unsuitability determination
• Ensure no hair/wool remnants per Chapter 41 note (c) to avoid exclusion back to Chapter 43
• Use ISPM-15 compliant packaging for bulk parings to prevent mold/quarantine issues during ocean transit
