Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification for fine animal hair content to confirm >85% compliance and avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports on weight per m² (>400 g/m²) and fiber composition during customs entry to prevent disputes
• Label as 'wholly or in part of fine animal hair' and ensure no vegetable matter exceeds clean yield standards
