Import Tips
• Declare intended end-use for floor coverings to leverage 'wool for special uses' bonding provisions under US note (d)
• Ensure fiber content exceeds 85% wool by clean weight to stay in this high-wool subheading
• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; ship in commercial bulk quantities only
