Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification per US notes to ensure accurate duty assessment on wool content
• Provide mill test reports confirming ≥85% combed wool and weight ≤200g/m² to avoid reclassification
• Label fiber content precisely; blends under 85% shift to 5112.19 headings, increasing duties
