Alpaca-Blend Viscose Blouse

A loose-fitting women's blouse knitted from a blend of 74% viscose and 26% alpaca fine hair, with short sleeves and a neck opening. Viscose is a man-made fibre, and the alpaca content does not exceed the 23% threshold that would trigger classification under a different tariff item for fine animal hair blends.

If the alpaca content exceeded 23% by weight

Blouses with a higher proportion of fine animal hair are classified as of other textile materials rather than man-made fibres.
