Import Tips

• File a customs bond as required for wool for special uses to ensure it's only used in permitted articles like felt or knit boots

• Provide certification that the wool is not finer than 46s and intended for special uses; calculate duties on clean yield per US note (b)

• Avoid common pitfalls by tracking wool through production—misuse triggers regular duties on the original entry value
