Import Tips
• Verify clean yield certification as per US notes to avoid duty adjustments based on vegetable matter content
• Obtain invoices specifying fiber origin (e.g
• Kashmir goat) and combing process to confirm fine animal hair classification
• Avoid retail packaging to prevent reclassification; common pitfall is insufficient documentation on yarn count and end-use
