Import Tips
• Use third-party lab testing for micron count and hair percentage to comply with chapter definitions
• Declare as 'combed' only if process meets tariff specs; otherwise, falls to carded headings
• Watch for 'special uses' wool misclassification—requires bonding if for felt/boot production
