Import Tips
• Certify fine animal hair type (camel) matches chapter note (b) definitions to avoid coarse hair misclassification
• Declare actual weight per m² on commercial invoice; discrepancies lead to audits
• For special uses wool, file bonds if repurposed, but upholstery typically exempts this requirement
