Import Tips
• Include lab tests confirming clean yield and fine animal hair type as per chapter notes (a) and (b)
• Document artisanal hand-weaving process; pitfalls include blends dropping below 85% wool/hair threshold
• Ensure commercial invoice specifies weight per m² to prevent duty adjustments
