Import Tips
• Provide lab tests confirming clean yield (12% moisture, low ash) to match US note definitions and prevent re-appraisals
• Declare exact animal source (e.g
• dromedary camel) as fine animal hair per chapter notes to avoid coarse hair misclassification
• Use commercial invoices detailing combing process; pitfall is entering as raw fiber without processing proof
