Import Tips
• Provide lab test results for fineness (diameter/yarn count) to confirm 40s-44s; discrepancies lead to audits
• Document degreasing process to distinguish from carbonized wool under 5101.41; over-processing risks reclassification
• For special uses like papermakers' felts, secure bond and end-use certificate to avoid higher regular duties
