Import Tips
• Calculate 'clean yield' per US note (b) based on moisture, vegetable matter, and ash content to determine dutiable weight accurately
• Provide certificates verifying the hair is from common goats (not Angora or Kashmir) to confirm coarse classification
• Avoid common pitfalls like misdeclaring as fine animal hair, which shifts to 5102.11 and may incur different treatment
