Import Tips
• Provide laboratory certification of clean yield and fineness (44s-46s) to verify classification, as duties are based on clean kg
• Ensure documentation proves no further processing beyond carbonization, avoiding reclassification to combed wool headings
• File bonds if intending use as 'wool for special uses' to potentially lower duties, but monitor end-use compliance
