Import Tips & Compliance

Confirm 'fine animal hair' status (alpaca qualifies per chapter notes) with origin certificates

Label packages clearly as 'for retail sale' with usage instructions to distinguish from industrial yarn

Avoid mixing with common goat hair, which disqualifies from 'fine' classification
