Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide clean yield certification based on official US note (b) definition, accounting for moisture, alcohol-soluble material, and ash content
• File bond if intending special uses like felt or knit boots per US note (d); ensure documentation traces usage to avoid regular duties
• Verify fineness grading (not finer than 58s) via spindle or blood system certificates to prevent misclassification to finer categories
