Import Tips & Compliance

Provide laboratory test reports certifying average fiber diameter ≤18.5 microns and exact wool content percentage below 85% by weight

Declare on clean yield basis per US notes; ensure documentation accounts for moisture and impurities as defined

Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient fiber diameter proof leading to audits
