Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification per US notes to confirm wool content meets 85% threshold and avoid reclassification
• Provide lab test reports for weight per m² and fiber analysis to prevent disputes at customs
• Ensure documentation specifies 'combed' wool to distinguish from carded under 5111
