Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification and fiber diameter testing per US notes to confirm 18.5 microns or less for duty qualification
• Provide mill test reports documenting ≥85% wool content and weight under 200g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Ensure no blending with synthetic fibers exceeding 15% to prevent shifting to mixed fabric headings
