Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification per US notes to confirm 85%+ wool content and avoid reclassification
• Provide loom width documentation and proof of hand-weaving to qualify for this specific subheading
• Label fiber content accurately; common pitfall is machine-woven fabrics misdeclared as hand-woven
