Import Tips
• Bundle with commercial invoice detailing bloodstock/origin (e.g
• Polwarth); helps distinguish from unimproved
• Watch for shrinkage in cleaning ops; declare conservative clean yield to prevent underpayment claims
• No duty on waste/byproducts if used for permitted articles, but track via records
