Import Tips
• Verify clean yield of carded wool via lab testing to confirm chapter 51 classification and avoid reclassification as synthetic under chapter 54
• Provide weave analysis and weight certification (under 140 g/m²) in entry docs to qualify as tapestry/upholstery
• Label fiber content accurately (>50% wool) per US notes to prevent penalties on man-made staple blends
