Import Tips
• Use commercial invoices specifying clean yield calculations to comply with tariff rate basis
• Avoid retail-style labeling or skeins over 1 kg to prevent classification as retail put-up yarn
• Bond requirements may apply if entered as 'wool for special uses'; confirm end-use certification
