Import Tips
• Verify that the cashmere content is accurately declared, as fine animal hair is treated as a single textile material with wool for classification
• Ensure the fabric is not 'made up' (e.g
• hemmed or cut to shape) as that would exclude it from Chapter 55
• Keep documentation of the combing process to support the classification
