Import Tips

• Verify clean yield certification per US notes to confirm wool/hair content meets 85% threshold and average fiber diameter ≤18.5 microns

• Provide lab test reports for fiber diameter and weight per m² to avoid reclassification during customs exam

• Label with exact wool and fine animal hair percentages; common pitfall is under-declaring cashmere leading to penalties
