Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If certified for special uses like felts or knit boots
Wool not finer than 46s with proper bonding qualifies for lower duty treatment.
If gathered wool (pulled from skins)
Shorn wool differs from pulled wool which has different tariff treatment.
If significantly contaminated and misdeclared as cotton waste
Material composition testing would reclassify pure wool fibers correctly.

Import Tips & Compliance
