Import Tips
• Submit detailed clean yield documentation including ash content (<0.5%) and vegetable matter allowance per US notes
• Avoid common pitfall of misdeclaring fineness; use certified wool classing to prevent audits
• For special uses (e.g
• papermakers' felts), certify and bond to access lower duties with usage restrictions
