Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification per US notes to confirm wool content meets 85% threshold and avoid reclassification
• Provide mill test reports for fiber diameter (≤18.5 microns) and exact weight per m² to prevent duty disputes
• Label origin and ensure no blends exceed wool percentage, as common pitfalls lead to audits under Chapter 51 rules
