Import Tips
• Verify clean yield documentation per US note (b) to confirm wool content meets 85% threshold for heading 5111
• Provide mill test certificates showing carded wool processing and weight ≤400 g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Label fiber content accurately; blends under 85% wool shift to 5111.11 or Chapter 59
