Import Tips
• Label with exact wool breed (e.g
• merino) if marketed as such, but classify based on fiber ratio per HTS notes
• Test for average yarn number to exclude from poplin/broadcloth exclusions if over limits
• Include commercial invoice specifying 'combed' to match statistical reporting requirements
