Import Tips

• Calculate 'clean yield' per US note (b) based on absolute clean content minus allowances for vegetable matter; declare greasy weight and estimated clean kg accurately to avoid penalties

• Provide certification of wool fineness (e.g

• 48s staple test) and origin; bonds may be required if misclassified as special use wool

• Ensure no carding/combing has occurred; greasy state must be verified via lab testing to prevent reclassification to Chapter 51 processed fibers
