Import Tips
• Ensure the alpaca content is documented and exceeds 50% by weight to support classification under 5701.10.90
• Provide a certificate of origin if claiming preferential tariff treatment under a free trade agreement
• Declare the carpet as a textile floor covering, not a wall hanging, to avoid misclassification
