Import Tips

• Verify clean yield certification as per US notes to ensure accurate duty calculation based on wool content free of impurities

• Provide lab test reports confirming ≥85% combed wool or fine animal hair and weight ≤140 g/m² to avoid reclassification

• Include end-use documentation specifying upholstery application to prevent shifts to apparel fabric headings
