Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide laboratory certification of clean yield per US note (b) to avoid disputes on duty assessment
• Declare exact wool type (e.g
• Merino) and fragments vs. tops to prevent misclassification to 5105.21.20
• Avoid common pitfall of entering unclean wool; fragments must be combed and meet clean content standards
