Import Tips
• Australian wool exports require specific health certificates; pair with clean yield analysis for smooth clearance
• Avoid common error of declaring as 'scoured' - degreased only status critical for this subheading
• Prepare for potential USDA inspection verifying no further processing beyond degreasing
