Import Tips
• 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
