Import Tips
• Use accredited labs for fiber diameter measurement; discrepancies often trigger audits under clean yield rules
• Declare exact percentages of wool vs. camel hair; bonds may be required if resembling 'wool for special uses'
• Avoid bulk packaging misdeclared as retail; weigh samples to confirm >340 g/m² threshold
