Alpaca-Wool Blend Maxi Skirt
A flowing maxi skirt made from a blend of 37% alpaca fine hair and artificial modal fibers, offering a luxurious drape. This skirt is classified under tariff item 6204.59.90 as it is made of other textile materials (a blend of fine animal hair and artificial fibers) and does not meet the specific criteria for the sibling item 6204.59.10, which covers skirts of artificial fibers only. The high wool content and the combination of materials place it under the 'Other' category.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the skirt's fiber composition is clearly declared on the commercial invoice, as the blend of alpaca and modal determines classification under 6204.59.90
• The CBSA may require a laboratory analysis if the fiber percentages are not evident
• Verify that the skirt is made up (e.g
• hemmed, sewn) and not simply a cut piece of fabric, as this affects classification
