Import Tips
• Obtain laboratory certification of clean yield and fineness (finer than 44s) prior to import to avoid reclassification
• File bonds if intending use in special applications like felts; otherwise standard duties apply
• Verify no carbonization has occurred as this changes classification to scoured wool headings
