Import Tips & Compliance
• Bond may be required if repurposed beyond waste uses; reference US note (d) for special wool but adapted for hair
• Test for ash content (<0.5%) and alcohol-soluble matter to validate clean yield declaration
• Segregate from yarn waste (5106) during processing to prevent reclassification
