Import Tips
• Document the wool's blood grade or spin test to prove it's not finer than 46s, avoiding reclassification
• Calculate duties on clean kg basis, detailing moisture, ash, and vegetable matter per US note definitions
• Maintain records for bond compliance, as misuse triggers regular duties on the entered condition
