Import Tips
• Conduct laboratory testing for clean yield per US notes, deducting allowances for commercial cleaning losses up to 15%
• Label shipments clearly as 'not finer than 58s' with grading certificates to avoid disputes at entry
• Monitor for coarse animal hair contamination; only pure wool from sheep qualifies per chapter note (a)
