Import Tips
• Verify clean yield documentation per US notes to confirm wool content meets 85% threshold; test for vegetable matter and ash content
• Provide mill certificates proving combed wool origin and weight per m² to avoid reclassification to heavier fabrics
• Label with fiber content and country of origin; watch for blending pitfalls that drop below 85% wool
