Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify wool content exceeds 85% by weight with lab tests or supplier certificates to confirm classification under 5109.10
• Include retail packaging details (e.g
• skeins ≤250g with labels) in entry docs to avoid reclassification as bulk yarn
• Watch for 'clean yield' calculations if grease wool; provide cleaning certificates to prevent duty adjustments
