Import Tips
• Use accredited labs for fineness (spindle count) and yield analysis to match 'clean kg' rate column requirements
• For transfers between bonded parties, maintain chain-of-custody docs per US note (d)(iii) to relieve prior bonds
• Avoid entry as special uses without intent certification, as misuse triggers full duties on the wool
