Import Tips
• Use accredited labs for micron diameter testing; discrepancies can trigger audits under Chapter 51 clean yield definitions
• Declare exact wool percentage based on clean yield (vegetable matter adjusted) to comply with US note (b)
• Avoid retail-style labeling or consumer packaging to prevent misclassification under retail yarn headings
