Import Tips
• Verify clean yield documentation as per US notes to avoid duty adjustments based on vegetable matter content
• Provide certificates confirming coarse animal hair origin (e.g
• cow tail) to distinguish from fine animal hair in Chapter 51
• For retail-packaged yarn, ensure labeling complies with FTC fiber content rules to prevent misclassification
