Import Tips
• Verify clean yield of wool content via lab testing to confirm 'mixed mainly with man-made staple fibers' per chapter notes
• Provide weave analysis and weight certificates; common pitfall is misclassifying due to unreported man-made fiber dominance
• Ensure origin labeling distinguishes combed wool processing to avoid reclassification as coarser blends
