Import Tips
• File bond if entering as 'wool for special uses' (US note d) for felt/boot production to access potentially lower duties
• Include scour certificates documenting degreasing process without carbonization or mechanical cleaning
• Test for 0.5% clean content allowance and vegetable matter deduction to prevent duty underpayment claims
