Lines should not require any re-classing and skirting.

" E" CHARGE (25cents per kilogram)

This charge applies to clips with many small layers, which by their very nature are more time consuming to sort. This charge may also applies to clip which may have met some of the criteria of the preceeding categories, but due to sub-standard preparation, require futher work.

“F” CHARGE (40cents per kilogram)

All individually bagged, skirted fleeces, also poorly prepared mixed bulked fleece lines or straight bales.

“G” CHARGE (55cents per kilogram)
