Import Tips
• Confirm that alpaca hair is classified as fine animal hair under Canadian tariff rules
• Ensure the fabric is printed and not of yarns of different colours; keep printing documentation
• If the fabric is imported as finished vests, check if it is 'made up' under Section XI Note 7 and consider classification under Chapter 62
