Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify wool content via lab testing to confirm ≥36% for this classification; mislabeling risks reclassification to higher duties
• Provide mill certificates documenting unbleached state and filament composition to avoid bleaching disputes at customs
• Ensure documentation specifies 'not combed' fibers to prevent shifts to combed subheadings with different rates
