Import Tips
• Verify the wool content exceeds 50% for fine animal hair classification; provide certificates of origin to avoid misclassification as synthetic rags
• Inspect for contamination as imports must be in bulk bales, not retail packaged
• Common pitfall: confusing with clean sorted rags under 6310.90.40
