Import Tips
• Confirm that the alpaca wool qualifies as fine animal hair under the Customs Tariff, as this affects the classification
• Provide a fibre analysis certificate to the CBSA to substantiate the modacrylic and alpaca percentages
• If the fabric is put up for retail sale in small pieces, check whether it qualifies as 'made up' under Section XI Note 7, which could change the tariff classification
